cron
I have a sudo crontab like this to sync time:
# m h dom mow dow command
0 6 * * * ntpdate 10.3.3.3 >> /var/mylog/ntp.log
0 7 * * * /var/mylog/backup.sh >> /var/mylog/backup.log
The problem I am having is that the first line (ntpdate) never seems to execute. If I run it manually with sudo that line works. cron does run the backup.sh at the 7, but it never executes then ntp sync at 6. The syslog doesn't seem to show anything.
System is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
