Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Cron not working
Valdimir,
Is the cron daemon running ? (ps -ef|grep for cron and you should see a line
something like /usr/sbin/cron running as root.)
I don't know about the output of crontab -l on Linux but what you have
printed is nothing like I have seen on a standard flavour of unix.
A sample crontab entry might look as follows
00 06 * * * $HOME/scripts/arch.sh> $HOME/logbook/arch.log 2>&1
This will run a shell script at 06:00 every day

Hello to everyone...
Red Hat 6.2
How do I find out what is wrong with cron? From January 15th until today cron is not working... My (oracle's) crontab file HAS not changed...
So I went to the /var/log/cron file. Last activity was on January 15th. Since then no activity has been recorderd.
If I issue "crontab <my crontab file>" and afterwards "crontab -l", there are lines
oracle (02/04-11:37:14-7686) REPLACE (oracle) oracle (02/04-11:37:17-7690) LIST (oracle)
My job was scheduled on 11:40, however job wasn't executed.
How do I see whether cron is running or not?
Thanks
