I'm trying to execute a cron
job with Scrot (screenshot utility) but it won't work.
At first I thought it was a directory problem. I wrote my.png
by itself at first, which could have been dropping it anywhere. So I changed the command to use the absolute paths. Since I've defined absolute paths, it seems like it would have to work correctly, but it's not. If I try to execute this as written on the command line, it works.
32 8,14,16 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/scrot /home/johndoe/my.png
What am I doing wrong?
Note that the times are not the problem, I keep putting it one or two minutes ahead of the current system time to test, and for other commands, it works fine.
