Hi Igor,
thanks for your quicky reply!

I tryed in this way

$ crontab -l
 10 14 * * * /bin/date >> /usr/tmp/date.out 2>&1

but doesn't work!!


In attch. files is generated from:

$ cat /var/log/cron.log > cron.log.txt
$ ps -elf > ps-elf.txt

I've also changed the permission of my cron.pid

$ chown a+x /var/run/cron.pid
$ ls -l /var/run/cron.pid


In event.log the Windows Event Log output.. IMHO is generated from

$ crontab -l

Thanks
	Orfeo
