Good day.

Why is it so:

when a job is been run by cron then I get:

/etc/cron.weekly/ntping:
run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.weekly/ntping: Exec format error
run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/ntping exited with return code 1

when I lunch at command prompt, then:

/etc/cron.weekly/ntping
12 Jul 13:20:10 ntpdate[10915]: step time server
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd offset 2.974808 sec


?


Thank You for Your time.
