Need help on Running perl prg. thru cron Can't Post
I am in desparate need of help on the execution of perl program thru cron jobs.

I have following in my cron file:
02 12 * * * /usr/bin/perl /home/user/cgi-bin/dojobs.pl

Which i want to run everyday. But when i test this program does not execuets ... I checked the var/log/spool to see whether it had executed or not .... I see there is entry at this time for CMD execution at given time. But no result since prg. was suppose to create a log report firlwhich is not there.

Please show me how to run perl program thru cron jobs.

Any help appreciated.
SK.

You can read 'man cron' and 'man crontab' to get a better understanding of how it all works.
If your script uses environment variables or any programs that your script runs use them, you may want to make sure they all get set up properly.

cron also emails you STDOUT from the script.
