I assume this is in /etc/crontab, yes? You need to tell cron who to run it by: 2,12,22,32,42,52 * * * * root /path to macro > #!/bin/sh > # > # > chgrp -R nogroup /usr/local/apache2/www/foodmanagementsystems.com/gary > > I can not find a log. The macro does not work via cron. The macro runs Logs are in /var/log. See "messages" and "daemon.log" there. BTW, try this (in X Window at a command line): xman -notopbox -bothshown & A pointy-clicky interface to manpages. In section 5, "File Formats", crontab mentions you can do (eg.) */10 * * * * root /path to macro for it to execute every ten minutes. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
