I can't get crontab running
![]() |
Hi there
I have a problem with my crontab. This is what it happens:
I have a hosting in a server and can't use the crontab for the hosting user.
I get this error: bash: crontab: command not found
Afortunately I can log in with root account.
I know I can use crontab -u user_name -e to edit the crontab for that user_name
I can edit the crontab for that user and put it a task to run every 5 minutes, blah blah blah...
BUT the problem is that it doesn't works. Doesn't works !!
I'm checking the activity log for the task I'm running in crontab, and It doesn't shows nothing because is not being executed.
Any idea about configuring the crontab to work automatically?
