title: shell script: My crontab script does not run
body: <p>Im trying to run a simple script with crontab and it does not run, I tried to write the output to log but it doesn't write anything, here is what i did:</p>
  
  <pre><code>crontab -e
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then I have added my shell script (Which it running perfect if I run it manually):</p>
  
  <pre><code>*/1 * * * * /script/check.sh &gt; /script/output.log
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(yes, I need to run this script every minute), its simple script that check if another script is running.</p>
  
  <p>any idea why its not running from the crontab but indeed running well from console?</p>
  
  <p>BTW: I have direct admin, and if Im running it from there it running well, But I need root permissions, thats why Im using the crontab.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>Eran.</p>
