Sorry, I don't quite understand this. If this has nothing to do with crontab, *what* does it have to do with then? I run /usr/local/sbin/logrotate from the shell: bash-2.03# /usr/local/sbin/logrotate [works fine] I add it to /etc/crontab: 1 0 * * 1 root /usr/local/sbin/logrotate [Won't be run] I fail to see what *could* be wrong with the script because it works on an interactive shell session just fine. Any further ideas? Pekka Savola pekkas@netcore.fi --- Across the nations the stories spread like spiderweb laid upon spiderweb, and men and women planned the future, believing they knew truth.
