reply yes I have tried actually (crontab -e) but when I close with :q it
doesn't save. Having a little problem with that too, can't figure out what
i'm missing there but to get around itI edited the file as root to my
liking, set the permissions to bigwig group 100,7777 to get it going. I then
go into crontab -l as bigwig and I see my cronfile exactly as typed before.
So I believe it's right. But then again who knows. :-)
TY for the help.
Alan

Subject: Re: [SLUG] cron problems
how are you adding the jobs? are you crontab -e as bigwig? remove bigwig
from the jobs IE:
su - bigwig
crontab -e
*/30 * * * * /var/www/html/stats/stats -v
*/2 * * * * /var/www/html/stats/pquery -l -s blah blah blah
