 Output to file lost when using cron Hello, I have a simple script that runs the following command: w | grep load >/tmp/load.stat When executing as 'root' user it sends the output to the file correctly. If I have the script run from cron no output is generated. I am running this on an RS6000 using AIX v4.3. Would you tell me what I need to do to have this work correctly from cron?      |

Tim, What are the permissions on /tmp/load.stat? Is the cron job running as root? How do you know that the job is running? Did you change the crontab file with crontab -e or just edit up the file? Directly editing the file will not work. See man crontab. Digitally yours, Kevin Sproule |
