Hi,

I have an OpenSuse 10.2 server with a 10 minute cronjob that only runs every hour.

the fetchmail command should run every 10 minutes, as below:

root@ser001:[~]$ crontab -l
10 * * * * /etc/webmin/fetchmail/check.pl --null
0 8 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u ntp.time.za.net


The sustem is:
root@ser001:[~]$ uname -a
Linux ser001 2.6.18.8-0.13-default #1 SMP Thu Nov 6 13:35:13 UTC 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
root@ser001:[~]$ cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 10.2 (i586)
VERSION = 10.2




Does anyone know why this happens, or how to fix it?

How exactly did you create the cron job? By running

crontab -e

or using another method?
