[ubuntu-za] crontab

[Scharnick, Walter]

I don't specify a user. I quess when I do crontab -e that it will run as
myself. See below...
Walter at uu~/runfive$ crontab -l
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 cd / &&

Heys,

Permission problem. Not with your script, but rather with the file
trying to open or write to - n_tunnel_UpDownStates.dat

Who is the script running as? Does that user have access to write to
that file?
