[cobalt-users] crontab thats driving me nuts

[Joe D <Joed@xxxxxxxx>]

 I recently installed a new program that installs through another GUI

when installing it i had to mess with the CGI a bit and used this to get the
program to run:

.htaccess located inside the web directory where the install program is located

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

rights to this i set at 644

OK  so now the program at least runs to get itself set up.

The problem is it creates a crontab that should run but doesnt.

the crontab looks like this:
22 23 * * * /home/sites/site2/web/searchspoof/spoof/bin/indexer

rights on the crontab are set at 777

it is owned by dallasfw (the admin user for the site)  and the group is site2

it is  located at:
/web/searchspoof/spoof/etc

the program its running  indexer  has rights set as
-rwxr-xr-x      is again owned by dallasfw and group is site2

when run manually from telnet as ./indexer  it runs fine

it just appears that the server isnt seeing the crontab and running it for some
reason

Any help would be appreciated i have searched the archives and I still have no
idea
why it isnt running  i know its either something little or something stupid
