Using crontab and/or Cronnix I set up a script to run at a set time. Only it won't run. I figure it's a question of permissions even though I've chown it. The file is there under /etc/etc/var/tabs/username and the command is correct. What did I miss? Thanks.

could you show us the crontab -l and the permission to the path you'r script lies in. for instance /etc/etc does not have +x then your script might not be able to be launched.

The file:
00 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/shellscripthere

The shellscript has rw and nor x permissions...
in /var/cron/tabs

What does it need to ahve?

Thanks.

1. Under /var/cron/tabs is my contrab file foo.
2. Permissions on tabs is root. Changed to user and no difference.
3. Permissions on foo are -rwx--x--x now and no difference. Changed to own by user and again no change.

I had it working last install... Just don't have noted how <sigh>.
