I am trying to implement a watchdog script which I basically got from here.
Script works fine, starts up process if not running, does nothing if running. Now implementation into crontab gives me headaches!
Opened crontab in leafpad... (what are those leading nubers for? those aren't mentioned anywhere...) so I added */5 * * * * root /path/to/watchdog/script
For my understanding cron should now call up my watchdog script every 5min (on 5, 10, etc.) But it doesn't.
Help appreciated, Lars
