Hello all, I don't know if it's the correct list, but as a php script is involved.... I try to start a set up a crontab job with crontab -e, which should start a php script: */10 * * * * cd /Users/yvan/Sites/est-pac/ ; /usr/bin/php /Users/yvan/Sites/est-pac/controller.php but nothing happens, and in the /etc/crontab or in /private/etc/crontab the job is not listed. As I am using Mac OS 10.4.9, should I use launchd? or does someone use crontab with a mac? I try a GUI application called CronniX to setup the job but without success. Any hints? Thanks in advance for your time and help. cheers yvan

It wouldn't appear in /etc/crontab, which is a system level file. My Mac is being repaired but aren't /etc and private/etc the same directory? Check your mail by typing mail and reading your mail. If there's an error it should/may be reported there (again I'm not sure about OS X). Otherwise, or in addition, check your system error logs. -- _____________________ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/
