The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

File added to /etc/cron.d folder does not execute

Asked by nlpalmquist in SuSE Linux

Tags: Suse Linux, cron, cron.d, does not execute

I have a number of files listed in /etc/cron.d.

6 of the files run, the last one I added does not seem to run.  (I put the code in the code section.)

The permissions and owners match.  The script is is executing exists and runs from command line.

I have looked everywhere and can not find if there is some certain thing, like reboot, that has to be done to add this to the other cron jobs.  The server is difficult to reboot, since it is very busy and if the job can be activated or should run without a reboot, I would like to do that first.

I sent the error output to the file and checked the file to see if it reports anything and it says:
bash: 1,16,31,46: command not found

All the manual pages say that when cron daemon runs it checks the folder and runs what is there.

Is there a log I can look at?

Can someone give me a list of GOTCHAs I can check?

Thanks.
