regarding cron jobs in fc7 ( crontab -e )

[dskonnur]

Hi ,

I have fc7 on my system . I installed the packages vixie-cron and anacron for cron jobs .
i created two directories tmp1 and tmp2 in /tmp

I edited the crontab file by issuing the command " crontab -e "

Now i entered some jobs :-

15 * * * * /bin/rm -rf /tmp/tmp1
30 * * * * /bin/rm -rf /tmp/tmp2

I started the cron service by issuing " service crond start"

But still even after 2 hours there directories have not been deleted ?

Please tell me what should i do ?

Regards,
Deepak

Have a look in /var/log/cron and /var/log/messages you souhld be able to see what's going on then.

you could also try cutting and pasting the command part from your crontab to make sure there isn't a typo or something in there (although that doesn't look like it's the case)
