rob86 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 Anyone out there know much about using cron tab? I'm having some difficulties with it, I can't get my bash scripts to do anything and I don't know if it's because it won't echo to a terminal, or if there's something wrong with my cron text, or both.I think it wont echo to a terminal, so how do I do that? I basically just wanted to make a test bash script that says "hello world" in a terminal every minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 Are you trying to use this crontab on your hosting provided by Xisto? If so, I'm not sure you can output to the terminal. Could you post the contents of your crontab and the bash script so we can do a bit of troubleshooting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
