Hi All,
Now I am trying to use the user crontab... however I keep getting an error:
Terminal
- -------------------------------
[hzs202@*****:/etc]> crontab -u hzs202 ~/bin/sig
"/home/hzs202/bin/sig":2: bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.
- -------------------------------
I am not sure what the problem is, however I cannot seem to figure out
how to fix this.
Is it referring to /etc/crontab? If so here is my /etc/crontab file
which doesn't seem to have any flaws.
Terminal
- --------------------------------
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file.
# This file also has a username field, that none of the other crontabs do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/home/hzs202/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command

/etc/cron.weekly

- ---------------------------------------
Please help me out...
