I have a script. As I am a root user, I can run it without a problem. I added that script to crontab in order to run as automatic. I entered in /etc/crontab and put down as below; */20 * * * * root /etc/scriptfile Despite root user, the crontab could not run above file. But I can run the same script in command line interface. I am sure tha the crontab daemon is running. Also I can see the crontab try to run that script in /var/log/cron. /usr/sbin/cron[98727]: (root) CMD (/etc/scriptfile) When I am a different user, I couldn't run the script and I got "access denied" What is the problem ? Thanks
