[SOLVED] NSLU2 - Etch - cron trouble?
>> Never mind - it is working <<

I'm trying to get cron running and nothing seems to be working. Here's the deal:
ps aux reveals cron is running:
root 1931 0.0 2.3 2272 692 ? Ss Oct13 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
My test for a simple cron entry (cron -l output) as a copy/paste:
#
0-59 * * * * /usr/bin/uptime >> /var/tmp/uptime.log
There is a null line after the cron entry.
I can invoke /usr/bin/uptime >> /var/tmp/uptime.log and it does what it is supposed to do. Cron however won't.
The crontab entry should be good, but at this point, I'm not sure of anything.
Ideas anybody?

John
