Crontab在Linux上运行Java Shell脚本

Question

Am writing a simple java script to send email it works perfectly however it does work in the crontab. the command sh sendmail.sh works

Here is my crontab command from crontab -e

*/5 * * * * sh  user /home/user/classes/sendmail.sh

I expect this to work and send mail every 5 minutes but it doesn't work

However the command sh sendmail.sh works

I need help on the crontab

Answer 1

thanks guys but I found the solution

this code works

*/5 * * * * (cd /home/user/classes; sh mail.sh)

Answer 2

Your correct lines is the following

*/5 * * * * user /home/user/classes/sendmail.sh (without "sh" word)

You have to be aware that user "user" has permission to execute the script "sendmail.sh"

You can see that executing ls -la sendmail.sh and reading who is the owner and the permissions.
