Hi all..
I have been exprementing with cron and i need some input.
If i put this in a file in cron.d:
# Runs plexwatch scanner every minute
# As stated
* * * * * /opt/plexWatch/plexWatch.pl
Then i find this in the log:
Oct 11 22:56:01 Hoa-Nas-Pro cron[2211]: (*system*plexwatch) RELOAD (/etc/cron.d/plexwatch)
Oct 11 22:56:01 Hoa-Nas-Pro cron[2211]: Error: bad command; while reading /etc/cron.d/plexwatch
Oct 11 22:56:01 Hoa-Nas-Pro cron[2211]: (*system*plexwatch) ERROR (Syntax error, this crontab file will be ignored)
My second cron attempt is put in cron.hourly and looks like this:
#
# Api pull off km's
# every hour, 5min past whole hour.
5 * * * * /data/ieexkb/cron/cron_api.php
This results in the log:
ct 11 23:01:01 Hoa-Nas-Pro cron[2211]: (*system*cron_api) RELOAD (/etc/cron.hourly/cron_api)
Oct 11 23:01:01 Hoa-Nas-Pro cron[2211]: Error: bad minute; while reading /etc/cron.hourly/cron_api
Oct 11 23:01:01 Hoa-Nas-Pro cron[2211]: (*system*cron_api) ERROR (Syntax error, this crontab file will be ignored)
What am i doing wrong?? Help please! :-)
