I can't get my cron(1) to work.
This crontab line works:
* * * * * system /usr/bin/touch /usr_steve/tmp/croncheck1
But this one doesn't:
* * * * * system /usr_steve/tmp/crontest
Where "/usr_steve/tmp/crontest" contains:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo hello world > /usr_steve/tmp/croncheck2
and it doesn't work even when owned by "system".
The EUNICE is BSD 4.3.2 on a microVax-III with VMS 4.7.
Any ideas?
