Running Perl from crontab

I am trying to run a perl sciprt from crontab, but the sciprt will
not run for whatever reason. Here is my crontab entry.

* * * *
* /apps/PERL/bin/perl /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sims/monitor/simscoun
t.pl

any ideas?

Thanks,

Running Perl from crontab

Hey Pal:

Maybe mohamed is right... here´s how I create entries in the crontab for a
specific user (youruser), and how I also create a log for the script output and
the error output:

* * * * * ( USER=youruser; export USER; /apps/PERL/bin/perl
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sims/monitor/simscount.pl >>
/home/youruser/program.log 2>> /home/youruser/program.err )

Good luck,

Luis

nfspeed105> any ideas?

Do other things run from your crontab?
Do you get any error messages?
Do you get error messages from *other* crontab things when they fail?
Have you included tests in your script for some parts failing
(every open followed by "or die")

Short of more information, we`d have to be psychic to proceed.

Running Perl from crontab

Thanks for the help, turns out the problem I was having is that I
did not provied the full path to my output file. The script was
acutally looking just dumping it into the root directory. Thanks for
the help though guys.
