cronjobs not working

[kusaitenshichan]

I'm having a problem setting up my cron jobs on freeBSD.

I created a file called 'cronfile.txt' and inside i placed the following

32 12 * * * /home/

http://www/blah.com/myscript.pl

then i performed the following call thru ssh:

crontab cronfile.txt

and i checked it with crontab -l.
but at 12:32 pm, the script didn't run.

I also tried creating the cronfile with crontab -e, but that didn't work either.

The script works fine when i execute it at the command prompt.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks!

check any environment dependencies (variables, paths , etc) in your script myscript.pl

you have to specify the username that run that script, so your new cron line will look like this:

32 12 * * * username/home/www/blah.com/myscript.pl

and finally insert that line into /etc/crontab
