strange cron ????

[ashley maher]

I've ported an application from another linux distro to Ubuntu.

I have some "housekeeping" perl scripts that I normally just drop
into /etc/cron.daily to be run every 24 hours (I don't care when just so
long as they are run every 24 hours)

It is now obviouse these scripts are not being run at all.

Looking at the logs cron daily is being run.

The scrips owners and permissions match other scripts
in /etc/cron.daily.

They are perl rather than bash (the only difference I can see).

It appears other scripts in the directory are being run.

If I:


sudo /etc/cron.daily/repair_web.pl

then the scripts run perfectly (so it is not some inconsistency there).

I have run out of ideas to test. Any, and I do mean any, suggestions
great fully received.

Regards,

Ashley
