Cron error

[mevasquez]

I keep getting a cron error stating:


error: error setting owner of /usr/local/oracle/Transcription/log/processor.log: Operation not permitted.


I put the command in my /etc/crontab file as such:

30 4 * * * * easyprod /home/easyprod/EdiXProcessor >> /usr/local/oracle/log/processor.log 2>&1


The user, easyprod, owns the command, EdiXProcessor and the log file, processor.log

Does anyone know why this occurs?

TIA
Mike

Because the user may own the file but not the folder /usr/. You may have to set the cronjob up in a root crontab if this doesn't cause any security issues.
