    cron jobs not running

    I've noticed that my cron jobs aren't running but will work via ScriptRunner.
    Can't find anything in debug logs but /var/log/messages has the following entries:

    Oct 24 19:45:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (readme.txt) ORPHAN (no passwd entry)
    Oct 24 19:45:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)
    Oct 24 19:46:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (readme.txt) ORPHAN (no passwd entry)
    Oct 24 19:46:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)
    Oct 24 19:47:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (readme.txt) ORPHAN (no passwd entry)
    Oct 24 19:47:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)
    Oct 24 19:48:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (readme.txt) ORPHAN (no passwd entry)
    Oct 24 19:48:01 zgemmah7 cron.info crond[2195]: (root) BAD FILE MODE (/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)

    I'd set it to run every minute to test it.

    Google was actually my first port of call and I checked but the script permissions are set at 755 which should be okay I think

    Try 700. I have a sneaking suspicion that they are meant to be usable only by the owner.

    No, still not working. Is it right that there is no mention of cron timers in the debug logs? /var/log/messages is the only place I can see any reference to them.
    These are my root entries in /etc/cron/crontabs/, nothing seems to work apart from ntpdate-sync.
    I've tried changing the script permissions but doesn't seem to have any effect.

    30 * * * * /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent
    02 00 * * * /usr/script/skyscraper.sh
    */15 * * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh

    ... a post elsewhere suggests setting permissions to 600.

    What's /usr/script set to?

    Trying to test this but I haven't setup top picks yet.

    I've ran scripts manually but when trying to add Cron timer via gui I get an error.

    Code:

    Is yours crashing when going into Cron Timers screen or trying to add Cron timer? Mine crashes when pressing green to add in Cron timer screen

    I'd already gone into the Cron Timers screen and manually added the script after first deleting it from /etc/cron/crontabs/root.
    I'd set the script to run every minute (because I have no patience!).
    It didn't run so I went back into Cron Timers screen and no cron jobs showing at all and then it crashed.

    For my crash it looks like it's been fixed here https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/c...87ab5a72ecec4a maybe fixed in next update.


    For the Cron timer it's working for me */30 * * * * /usr/script/skypicker.sh is running every 30 minutes
