crontab setup

[new2unix]

Hi,

I have the following line in my crontab:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 2-23 * * * /usr/testgate/scripts/myscript.sh

Basically, I want to run this script every 5 minutes between 2 am to 11 pm everyday. But I am not sure if the job gets executed at all because I am not seeing the same result compared to when I manually executed the scripts. Did I set up the crontab incorrectly?

I did a ps -ef | grep cron and saw the following:

root 11652 1 0 Aug 15 - 3:46 /usr/sbin/cron

This should mean the cron process is running.

Thanks

Mike

It looks as if you have set cron up correctly. Did the user who is running this get a mail when the script was supposed to run? Can you set the script up to send errors to a log file?
