On a box, that I don't have root access to, I added a job to my crontab to run every hour. So far it doesn't appear to be running (if it is then I'm not getting an email and I don't have root access to the logs) but the databases that my script is supposed to update has not been updated. I don't know for sure if it's due to an error or if it's just because the cron job's not running.
My user hasn't used crontab previously and I just did today:
and added my job (and a MAILTO variable).
If I do ps aux | grep crond then I see:
Code:
root 3282 0.0 0.1 57216 1072 ? Ss Jul07 0:00 crond
htiadmin 20886 0.0 0.0 51092 672 pts/1 R+ 15:08 0:00 grep crond
Can somebody tell me if I need to do something to get my own cron job running? Does the entire cron service need to be restared, or is there something I can do with my own user?
