Date: 27 Dec 1993 18:07:22 GMT Organization: Dept of Energy, EH-15 Lines: 17 Message-ID: <2fn899$bje@twitch.ns.doe.gov> Reply-To: martinj@havoc.ns.doe.gov (James Martin) NNTP-Posting-Host: havoc.ns.doe.gov X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.00 I've been trying to get cron to execute a command every 10 minutes with no success. I'm running NetBSD 0.9 on a 486/50 w/8mb RAM. The tab line I'm trying to get to run is: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/bin/su news -c '/usr/local/news/bin/nntpsend' which flushes new articles sent to the INN server, which is the box's primary function. I've done a "crontab -u root -r root", and rebooted, etc... but no luck. cron is still running daily, weekly, monthly stuff, but I can't get it to do anything new... Is there something I'm missing? Thanks - James martinj@havoc.ns.doe.gov
