manly Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hi, Yes, I know that FreeBSD != linux, but as far as I know cron should be very similar on the two platforms. I had this type of setup running under Mandrake, but I have since had to switch this server over to FreeBSD. $ crontab -l * * * * * /usr/local/bin/getmail As far as I understand cron, this should run getmail every minute as the user and send any errors or output to the user via mail. What I get in the mail is: "exec: : Permission denied" Yet, I can run /usr/local/bin/getmail manually without a problem. Permissions are +x for user, group, and other. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! --Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
