Crontab not running
1) i checked , the user name (unixadm2) is not in cron.deny,
2) cron file (unixadm2) is there with proper permissins in /var/spool/cron/crontabs ,
3) am running a simple command in crontab file, as follows :
* * * * * date >> /var/tmp/date_test_$$
5) interestingly, for the other user, unixadm1, the crontab works fine (on same server)
4) the crontab file was created via crontab -e command.
5) ps -ef | grep cron command gives the following output
root 29835 1 0 May 21 ? 0:24 /usr/sbin/cron
I am at loss as to where the problem lies, seems the crontab scheduler is not even starting ?
can someone please help me asap?

Re: Crontab not running
Apparently. Have you tried:
http://sunsolve.sun.com
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/home/index.html
?
If the problem is specific to a particular
user, you might verify things like whether
that user has a valid home directory with
proper owner and permissions, whether that
user has a valid shell, can receive e-mail,
and so on.
> [...] date [...]
For a test, I'd try "/bin/date" (or whatever
it actually is).

Re: Crontab not running
date >> /var/tmp/date_test_$$
Ensure that the file has the right permissions ro allow all users write access.
