I've setup two cron jobs to run , setup as root and set to run as root, on a
10.3.3 OS X Server machine.
The permissions for the scripts called by the crontab are set for read,write
& execute for root user only, and I can invoke the scripts manually as root.
But the cron job does not run.
When I added these jobs to the crontab, there was no error message either.
Here's the listing (crontab -l) :
45 1 * * * root /etc/ditto_daily.sh
15 0 * * 1,2,4,6 root /etc/junkmailcleanup.sh
The permissions for the first script:
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 1005 8 Apr 11:51 /etc/ditto_daily.sh
Please tell me the stupid and obvious thing I'm overlooking, and how you
would go about logging the results of cron jobs... In order to look
for/track down errors or problems
