Hey there- I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I have a cron job running webalizer. The cron job seems to be running based on the log, but the data is not being updated in the directory. I do believe that I can say that the webalizer is configured correctly because if I run the command that is listed in cron by hand, the output is sent to the proper place. Here are some l0og entries and the crontab itself: europa# crontab -l 0 * * * * /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate.cron > /dev/null */5 * * * * /usr/sbin/webstats europa# tail /var/log/cron Sep 20 13:25:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51173]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Sep 20 13:26:02 europa crontab[51199]: (root) LIST (root) Sep 20 13:30:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51274]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Sep 20 13:30:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51273]: (root) CMD (/usr/sbin/webstats) Sep 20 13:33:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51332]: (operator) CMD (/usr/libexec/save-entropy) Sep 20 13:34:35 europa crontab[51387]: (root) LIST (root) Sep 20 13:35:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51394]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Sep 20 13:35:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51393]: (root) CMD (/usr/sbin/webstats) Sep 20 13:40:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51468]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Sep 20 13:40:00 europa /usr/sbin/cron[51467]: (root) CMD (/usr/sbin/webstats) I am confused on where I should look now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. /bob
