Lines: 14 Message-ID: <incs.1.00158B3E@mindspring.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: incs.mindspring.com X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B] Hello out there, I need some assitance with setting up my cron/crontab entry. What i would like to do is ping an address 5 and 40 minute apart within every hour the server is operational. I readily admit that know very little about unix, however I do dabble and will probably become more familiar with it over time. My crontab entry is 5,40 * * * * root /sbin/ping -c 198.41.0.5 what is wrong? according to the logfiles o enteries were ever logged. Thank in advance, Robert H. Greene
