Hi,
I wrote a perl script to get a news show I like. When I run it, it deletes
yesterday's copy of the show, and downloads the new copy. The script works
fine. I run the script as myself (charlie), charlie owns it, and it's
chmod'd 0755. Works fine.
I can't get cron to run it, though. Here's the cron process running on my
machine:
charlie at dash$ ps auxwww | grep cron
root 413 0.0 0.1 1364 892 ?? Ss 5Jan07 0:06.57/usr/sbin/cron -s
And here's charlie's crontab, to run at 7:17 mon - fri
17 7 * * 1-5 /media/democracy_now/get_new_show.pl
?
Charlie
