Hi

does anybody now how to silve the following problem.
When i put into crontab the following it does not work.

30 12 * * * /bin/find /app/cls/Fundtech/1.0.0/log -mtime +4 -exec rm -f {} \;

when i do it by hand from the prompt it works fine. But from the crontab i get a error.

Have you tried with /usr/bin/find?

All I ask of you
Is make my wildest dreams come true
 
Or maybe try escaping the final \, like \\

errno 13 means EACCESS - Permission denied

are you sure the same userid is used from cron and when you try by hand?

you should also have gotten a second mail with the stdout and stderr of the cron job.
