I'm new to set up server settings and to the whole unix thing so maybe this is simple.
I'm trying to start crontab with curl in but it doesn't work. I want it go to file and send email every 30 minutes.
If just writing
curl http://webaddress.com/controller/action
in the terminal everything works just fine and it will send out mail as I want.
But when I trying to do it with crontab it never "kicks". In the crontab -e I have write
0,30 * * * * curl http://webaddress.com/controller/action
I have also tried
0,30 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://webaddress.com/controller/action
nothing with result.
Anyone have any clue what can be wrong?
SOLVED
It was some PAM related bug on the server. To fix it I wrote:
aptitude reinstall libpam-modules libpam0g cron
