Quite sure. Its only accessable internally (internal LAN) with the network
setting not configured for web access PLUS its behind a firewall.

yep, I used crontab -e. It doesn't work. Is it because the crond
daemon
has failed? When I check using ps -ef | grep crond, I find that the
daemon
is still running.

Subject: Cron does not work
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.
James -
Are you using crontab -e to change the statement?
That
should work. But if you simply change the file with
a text
editor, you will see the behavior your are talking
about.
