Re: how to enable the crontab for user in hpux
Is the system trusted?
I remember, long ago running into a problem adding oracle to cron allow user list on a trusted system.
Had to run through a special procedure to fix it.
Though I recall betting a pretty specific error message which we are not seeing here.
As user John:
env > /tmp/john.env.txt
Take a look there.
It is possible but not advisable as root to directly edit the cron schedules in /var/spool/cron/crontabs
See what if anything is there.

Re: how to enable the crontab for user in hpux
sh EDITOR=vi crontab -e
and it will work OK even if the user is running the scummy csh shell.
NOTE: drwxrwxrwx is a severe security risk for your system. Someone tried to fix a problem by compromising the security of every cron job with 777 permissions. The correct permission is 555 owned by bin:bin.
