SYMPTOMS

When you try to run a cron job from INTERIX, you may find that it does not run.

To resolve this behavior, do one or more of the following:

Add the cron user to the Cronadmin utility.
Type service list to see if the cron service is running.
Correct the time format. The format should be in the following order: minute, hour, day of month, month of year.
Compare the user's name letter case and spelling by typing the following:

cronadmin list $ps -e -o comm,user=longenoughnamesolongnameprints
