cronjob no longer running like before

[John Dominic T. Binuya]

good day,

to make it short, I have a cronjob that was running perfectly a few days ago but now it no longer produces the desired output. And when I checked the cron log I get this entry
"CMD: * /u21/smart/orders/cron/synch/scripts/load_file.sh #10
root 2093 c Tue Nov 25 12:49:03 EAT 2008
"
when before it was running normally it did not have the "*" at the start of the script. Could this be an error indicator? How can I check?

Thanks

>it did not have the "*" at the start

It is probably the obvious, you have too many fields at the start and it extended over to the script field?
minute hour monthday month weekday command

below is the actual crontab entry,
00,10,20,30,40,50 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 * * * * /u21/smart/orders/cron/synch/scripts/load_file.sh #10

I think you're right there is an extra "*". I think I need to re-assign you the point. If you would be so kind as to reply so I can assign to you the more appropriate point.

Thanks a lot!!

Thank you very much Sir Dennis, I guess somebody made a bubu while tinkering with the crontab.

Thanks

It might be easier to understand if you use:
... 12-23 ...

Thank you Sir I'll make the adjustment.
