Re: perl script not running through cron tab


this is the cron tab i have given
05 04 23 1 * perl /tpf106/data2/cis_web/cis3/cis3.11/work/rishi/s-
branch/perl1/perl]/filecomp.pl>>
/tpf106/data2/cis_web/cis3/cis3.11/work/rishi/s-branch/perl1/perl/
file4.txt

cron has no idea what or where 'perl' is. So use /usr/local/bin/perl
instead.

Is perl actually in /usr/local/bin/perl?
What happens if you type the cron line on the command line, exactly as shown
above?

Are there two '>' signs to redirect? That doesn't work, at least.
