Since yesterday, one of my workstation refuses crontab jobs:
subject:
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 1996 04:15:00 +0100
From: system administrator/ <root_at_piaf.mpib-tuebingen.mpg.de>
Your commands will not be executed.
What I did yesterday:
As this machine is in another house I logged in as a normal user, su to
root and edited the crontab file via crontab -e (and vi).
Since then, cron refuses to work. Maybe the problem is, that my login
uid was not root? How can I manage this problem??
my crontab looks like:
# crontab -l
