Crontab does not works

miki_teleco

Hi,

I have this dummy cronjob.

[root@fw /home/user/watchdog_snort]# crontab -l | tail -1
*/1 * * * * root /bin/bash /home/user/watchdog_snort/dummy.sh
[root@fw /home/user/watchdog_snort]# cat /home/user/watchdog_snort/dummy.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "prueba" > /home/user/watchdog_snort/watchdog_logs

[root@fw /home/user/watchdog_snort]# wc -l watchdog_logs
       0 watchdog_logs
[root@fw /home/user/watchdog_snort]# env -i SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/root LOGNAME=dru /home/user/watchdog_snort/dummy.sh
[root@fw /home/user/watchdog_snort]# wc -l watchdog_logs
       1 watchdog_logs

As you can see, the script works fine even with the cron env. However, dummy script does not works in a cron schedule.
Have you got any ideas about why It is happening?

Thanks!

/bin/bash doesn't exist in pfSense, use /bin/sh.

What error do you see when it tries to run?
