what is wrong with my cron job? 1

[ilpadrino]

I cannot get cron to run at all. I have debian and have tried using crontab with root and my user account with no success. The job never runs as scheduled. I've tried restarting /etc/init.d/cron, rebooting, killing. There was not even a cron.log in /var/log, so I never get an error message. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Here is my cron statement written for root:

*/5 * * * * root /bin/bash /var/

Thanks in advance.
Joe.

does it appear in the list of "crontab -l" ?
did you try to "chmod +x cpufeed.sh" in order to put the line:

*/5 * * * * root /var/

http://www/rrdtool/cpufeed.sh

another thing... don't put the user:

*/5 * * * * /bin/bash /var/

http://www/rrdtool/cpufeed.sh

cheers.

Chacalinc, that was it. I guess I assumed execute was automatic when I created the script. So I don't need the /bin/bash, and I also took off the user, so it runs under my login. Thank you.
