minicom on crontab

[duentez]

hello everybody,
i;m trying to run minicom through crontab every 1 minute and i'm writing something like that:
*/1 * * * * /path/myminicom.scr

where myminicom.scr is a script calling minicom
every user has access and it is an executable file

but nothing happens...
its not working on crontab, does anybody knows why?
Thank you a lot!!!!!!!!!!

Does running your script without cron perform the action you're looking for?

Have you tried changing the values of when cron runs? If you do it once an hour is it successful?

I'd recommend starting at a timeperiod that works and incrementally decreasing that to find out if it's cron, the script, or the time interval at which you'd like to run the script.
