|
to test if crontab is working try to outputting a log file

|
|
exmaple:
|
|
|
|
|
* * * * * ~/Scripts/timebomb.sh > /tmp/timebomb_error.log 2>&1

|
|
note: one of the most common reasons crontab doesnt work
|
|
|
|
|
is because it wants you to put the absolute path to an app/location
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ex:
|
|
|
|
|
transmission-gtk
|
|
|
|
|
vs
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/transmission-gtk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# use the which command to figure it out the path
|
|
|
|
|
which transmission-gtk
