Crontab

[courage]

First off all i want to say sorry if im putting this in the wrong forum.
The thing is about my crontab, it just wont run the task(*/10 * * * * ./path/file.pl -q).
First i didn't even have the crontab file in /etc/ dir, but i installed fcron and then i had it.
I edited the crontab with nano(nano /etc/crontab), i know that this is wrong.
I don't know were are the logs files about cronjobs, so i can't give you them.
What should i do next?

I found out that for my usage the best is dcron, i installed it and added the crontab file(crontab /etc/crontab).
But still, doesn't do his job... i did some reboots and still nothing.

IIRC, vixie-cron is the only cron that reads changes to the crontab automatically. Read the documentation for your crontab to find out if a command is needed to update the crontab. Please do that. Rebooting should not magically do that for you. This isn't Windows .

Try looking right on your own machine. Hint: When you're using a package and are unsure of the documentation it provides, take a look at the files it provides in the /usr/share/man directory.
