To test it , as root user I entered a line into the /etc/crontab by using easyeditor as follows 50 21 * * * root /root/testcron and I saved this.(cat /root/testcron is touch /root/desktop/Myfile) and I tried to do as root user this # /etc/rc.d/cron restart got O/P as Stopping cron. Starting cron. Then I tried to give #crontab -l But Output is as this don# crontab -l crontab: no crontab for root why this message is it working fine ? ya not how can I list crontab -l (the cronjobs for root) Pls provide your suggestions any way the Myfile is created by crontab , but why the message no cronjob for root ? _________________________________________________________________ Millions of Matrimonial Profiles @ Shaadi.com.
