hi, I am still a relatively new user of debian, but i was wondering if someone may be able to help me out setting my crontab. basically, i want to set cron to check and update (if necessary) my dyndns account daily. i read many pages about how to set the crontab, which seems pretty straight forward, but i seem to be missing something. this is what i have done so far:
crontab -e #test to make sure the dns is current 30 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/addns-0.73c.pl >> /home/jake/addns.txt initially i set it with a wild card in each of the fields, just until i got it working, but no luck. if anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. or, if there is a better way to check and automatically update my dyndns account, that information would be even more helpful. thanks in advance. jake
