Strange question Cron problems

Can you paste a copy of your cron configuration?

Josh, That would probably help right? I have been trying it every way I can think of. Each time I change it I run /etc/init.d/crond restart Not sure if I have to but it can't hurt right.

 cron tab for root
1-59/10 * * * * /usr/bin/diskmonitor
0 */4 * * * /usr/bin/diskwearoutstat
50 20 * * * /usr/bin/updatecheck -a
50 20 21 * * /usr/bin/phonehome_activate
*/5 * * * * /home/Joe/Temperature.sh
 block 395320 

*/1 * * * * /usr/sbin/lsusb -v -d 0451:3410 >/dev/null
 end 395320 
MAILTO=""
54 * * * * /usr/bin/copy_rrd save

It is the /home/Joe/Temperature.sh have also tried running it like

*/5 * * * * /etc/cron.hourly/Temperature.sh

As well as

*/5 * * * * root /etc/cron.hourly/Temperature.sh
*/5 * * * * /home/admin/Temperature.sh
*/5 * * * * root /home/admin/Temperature.sh

The script has to write a file locally and it can't seem to write it in cron.hourly so I keep moving it around. So the script runs a grep and writes a file. When it is in my home directory or home/admin it does the grep and writes the file but doesn't email it. If I copy the command out of the script and run it it will email the file as me or as root? Probably something stupid but I am stumped... Thanks for your help. Joe

Sounds like a crontab PATH environment problem. In this post you'll find some tips on how to verify that this is indeed the cause of your problems and how to fix it.

Restarting the crond shouldn't be necessary. Just make sure you use the

crontab -e

crontab -l

Hey Joe, Hope you are doing well. Can you please help sharing your temperature script here. this would be really helpful for me & even other users. Thank you.
