scheduled task problem

Hi,

 

 

I want to form a scheduled task. I want to use perl script. For testing cron&crontab, I write a basic script which create a file and write something to the file.

 

 

root crontab -l

 

cron tab for root

 

1-59/30 * * * * /usr/bin/diskmonitor

 

*/1 * * * * perl /root/createfile

 

 

I suppose that my script should work every minute. I changed it to * * * * * perl /root/createfile for testing but for both cases my script can not run and data.txt was not created.

 

 

 

My script is:

 

 

!/usr/local/bin/perl

 

open (MYFILE, '>>data.txt');

 

print MYFILE "Bob\n";

 

close (MYFILE); (MYFILE);

 

 

I can not find the problem. I supposed that cron & crontab should be working in f5. Is it correct?

 

 

 

Thanks...
