What's happened to my cron???

[RikedyP]

Don't know how well I placed this thread but here we go:

I have my personal user (the only user other than root on the system) cron and it goes like so:

# m h dom mon dow user    command

Is there anything wrong with this cron, i do
rikedyp(at)RikedyPC:~$ crontab -u rikedyp Wallpaper-cronon <-this is the file name
and there are no errors so why is it not working
i have checked the scripts they all work and are executable


HERE is /etc/crontab:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user	command
17 *	* * *	root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6	* * *	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6	* * 7	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6	1 * *	root	test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / &&  run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

tl;dr My crons no work, is it my crontab or something else???

I'm pretty sure I solved it, i went through all the dates systematically to fix them

the key to the script working: I just took out the user option 'rikedyp', didn't seem to like that for some reason...

ahh well, here's the new crontab
