As the subject says, this is probably a newbie question (I am new to FreeBSD but quite experienced at Linux). FreeBSD9 on x86_64. Cron is running: $ ps -ax|grep cron 1513 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/cron -s 2283 0 S+ 0:00.00 grep cron $ I have a syntactically valid crontab: $ crontab -l #min hr dom month dow command SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/ daddy/bin HOME=/home/walterh 00 02 * * * /home/walterh/exports.sh 05 02 * * * /home/walterh/backup_etc.sh 10 02 * * * /home/walterh/systemcheck.sh 15 02 * * * /home/walterh/backup_bsd.sh $ So what is wrong? Why is nothing happening? I have consulted the handbook but see nothing.
