Crontab job not running? 1

[joeythelips]

Hi
I am trying to add a cronjob which will zip log files at the end of the day. I have added the following command

15 00 * * 0-6 find /opt/gtx/common/logs/testcompress -mtime +1 -exec gzip -f {} \;

I can't seem to get it to work, has anyone any suggestions?

What does the cron.log say?

One common problem is that a program, gzip in this case, is not in the path.
Try

15 00 * * 0-6 find /opt/gtx/common/logs/testcompress -mtime +1 -exec /usr/local/bin/gzip -f {} \;

assuming gzip is in /usr/local/bin
