this is what i did

i opened the psybncchk file and change the path
PSYBNCPATH=/...
to
PSYBNCPATH=/home/classic/ilumination/Bouncers/efnet/psybnc

then i did chmod 700 psybncchk

after that

0,5,10,15,20,25 * * * * /home/classic/ilumination/Bouncers/efnet/psybnc/psybncchk >/dev/null 2>&1

which did nothing

when i tried

0,5,10,15,20,25 * * * * /home/classic/ilumination/Bouncers/efnet/psybnc/psybncchk

it gave me

bash: 0,10,20,30,40,50: command not found

so i followed it like it said in the guide
but still it does not work and the filename excists in the directory

Read the error.

It states the files you are pointing at doesn't exist.

LOL, partly our fault.

Remove the >/dev/null 2>&1 from the end.

These are used to direct all output from the script the *nix pit of doom, IE, to be never seen again.

This is used in crontab to prevent it sending you e-mails.

Remove these to test the script before entering it into the crontab. If it works, then place it in the crontab.

Check your e-mail, to see if it works.

If it then works, you can place the ">/dev/null 2>&1" back.

bnc/psybncchk >/dev/null 2>&1
ilumination@Statler:~/Bouncers/efnet/psybnc$

Yes, if the following is true.

1: home/classic/ilumination/Bouncers/efnet/psybnc/ is the path to the psybnc

2: psybncchk is the the name of the file

3: You have set the file executable as noted in the instructions above.

Note, it should not be on 2 lines, and only on 1.

Yes, you need to mke sure you change the path and filename to reflect your setuIt isn't majic, it doesn't look for the file to execute, you have to tell it.
