I have a problem, I have set up a task as
a cronjob but it only works when I restart the
crond daemon in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.
The statement is:
* * * * * echo "Hello" >> /tmp/test.txt
When I restart crond, this works perfectly. But when I change
that statement to:
* * * * * echo "New Test" >> /tmp/test.txt
the cron does not read this new statement and continues executing the
old statement. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
