Re: Cron jobs not executed for specific user

>Can you please explain what this command does?

It unsets all if your environment variables except for PATH. This is what crontab does.

tusc -fp -ea -o tusc.out $(UNIX95=EXTENDED_PS ps -C cron -o pid=)

>Can you please explain what this command does and if we have to type everything (even these that are in parenthesis)?

Yes, you have to type everything. The stuff in () finds the PID for cron, so you don't have to.)

It basically runs tusc on cron and puts the output in tusc.out. Hopefully this should show us what is going on with cron and in particular for that user. (You need to start this before nmcman's crontab starts.)
