crontab not being executed

Hi all, I have followed the steps on the following link to set up a crontab entry for nightly UCS backups. http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/400/sol13418.html

 

We have 3 HA pairs of LTMs and 2 pairs are running fine. However, the same crontab entries just don't run on one of the pairs.

 

Have I missed something in the configuration to enable the crontab?

 

Thanks Ant

    have you checked the usual log files for errors? have you tried to execute the command yourself to see if it succeeds? are all LTMs running the same TMOS version?

    How do I check the TMOS version?

     

    The command executes just fine when run from the command line. tmsh save /sys ucs /var/local/ucs/$(date '+%y%m%d')
