Hello,

how can i start a Script with a cron-job?

I have a executable script “/home/xxx/test.sh”,  
a personal cron-job is created with “KDE-Aufgabenplaner”

test the Job in “Aufgabenplaner” is ok,  
a personal crontab-file is in “/var/spool/cron/crontabs/”

all locks fine but nothing starts.

Thanks  
eikko

The script is set to executable in properties?  
And also has the right shebang? (e.g. #!/bin/bash)

The home partition is on a separate partition? Encrypted maybe?
