OK This is my first post. I use the Red Hat bible for mose problems. But I
cannot get cron to work. Arggg! I run RedHat 7.0 kernel 2.2. Here is my cron
file. There is no cron.allow or deny files in /etc/. The user is bigwig.

*/30 * * * * bigwig /var/www/html/stats/stats -v
*/2 * * * * bigwig /var/www/html/stats/pquery -l -s blah blah blah

Both these progams work fine from command line but not in cron. I had
instructions to add the crontab as this "0,30 * * * * user /valid/paht/name"
but I also noticed that the default dir was home/httpd which is from older
versions. The */30 I got from existing cron files on the Computer whic is
set to run every 30 mins. I have tried it both ways and nodda.
I wish I had some more info to give you but I think that's all I am supposed
to need.
