I'm trying to setup cron jobs for a website hosted on hostmonster.com. When I use the following it runs perfectly:
* * * * *
But whenever I make changes to these timestamps the script doesn't work.
If I use the following, it will not execute:
30 18 * * *
This automated script inserts data into the database.
Does anyone know why it's not working?
There is not too much information to go on here. Your only hard data (the cron hour & min) are fine. What else is going on. Are you running these jobs as you? as root? Do /usr/lib/cron/cron.allow or cron.deny exist? How are you editing this file? Did you load it using crontab? – DaveParillo – 2009-10-23T15:18:48.410
as Dave says, nothing wrong with that. it should be running at 6:30pm. what are you expecting it to do? – quack quixote – 2009-10-23T16:38:59.940
