I want to have my entry in the crontabs file execute every night at midnight. This entry will rotate my netscape logs and looks like this: 0 0 * * * /usr/ns-home/httpd-80/rotate I placed this entry into the "/etc/crontabs" file and rebooted for it to take effect, yet it did not execute?? Any ideas??? Any and all help will be appreciated and thanks in advance. -- Carl Joel Kuzmich (412) 648-1099 | Love is a better teacher than duty | University of Pittsburgh | - Albert Einstein | Office of Medical Education Pittsburgh, PA 15261
