why cron job wouldnt work?

[007casper]

I set up a cron job. It worked for a day or two and then stopped working.

I cant figure out why...

crontab -e

# m h dom mon dow command
*/15 * * * * /root/repeat/file.sh

then, the file.sh

-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 337 2012-06-14 04:41 file.sh

please advise

Hi 007casper.

Is that your regular user's crontab? If so, you don't have execution permission.

>>you don't have execution permission.

you mean it should be
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 337 2012-06-14 04:41 file.sh

More like:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 337 2012-06-14 04:41 file.sh

Because you are not member of the 'root' group.
