[olug] cron

[mesc]

Thanks guys it was in slocate.I'm stilll having trouble setting up cron
though.I've read the cron man page over and over and I'm still having no
luck.This is my crontab file..

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=mescie at home.com
HOME=/

# run-parts
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60 * * * * root /usr/local/etc/logcheck.sh
* 13 * * * root /tmp/core.find
#* * * * 00 root /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60 * * * * root /usr/bin/updatedb
* * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

I have logcheck.sh and updatedb set to run every 5 minutes (I think) just so
they run frequently so I can see if I have them setup properly.I have
logrotate commented out till I figure out  what it does :)The only one that
seems to work is the core.find.I'm sure it has something to do with the fact
that when I run  crontab -l all I see is the core.find file ( * 14 * * * find
/ -name "core*" -exec ls {} \; )How can I get logcheck.sh and updatedb
recognized by cron?
