I can no longer open the tabs.html and tabs.js files indicated in the output below (2nd and 3rd out of four). Using cygwin I applied a patch to them.

I believe the clue is in the ls -l output. Specifically, unlike the other files, at the end of what would ordinarily be permissions information if this were *nix instead of Windows/Cygwin.

In the first field the files I can open have the series of dashes ending with a plus-sign: '----------+' but the files I can no longer open don't have the terminating '+'. What does the '+' signify and how can I modify the permissions so that it is restored, bearing in mind this is using Cygwin (on Windows 7) if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance:

I'm trying to setup a crontab specifically for the user that runs the web process. I have root/sudo access so I wrote an entry for the www-data user using the -e option and here is the listing using the -l option:

/etc$ sudo crontab -u www-data -l
# m h  dom mon dow   command
15,30,45 * * * * /var/www/cron/test.cli.php

The process is not running at the appointed interval however. I'm pretty sure I have the syntax correct so this leads me to a few other possibilities

1) improperly formatted /etc/cron.allow? I actually created this as sudo/root and all I've done is enter a line with "www-data" on it. However, is this the correct format? I'm having a hard time finding information on how /etc/cron.allow should be formatted, its not in the man as far as I can tell (http://linux.die.net/man/1/crontab)

2) Is /etc the correct location for cron.allow on Debian? I googled and it mentions that it might go elsewhere under SUSE but all indications unless I'm mistaken is that under Debian /etc is the correct location.

3) Permissions for /etc/cron.allow? I (temporarily) set them to 777, could this be too permissive?

4) Does cron need to be restarted after the creation/modification of cron.allow (or cron.deny)?

PS....since first posting this on stackoverflow (where I will now delete it) I have tried restarting cron to no avail: the task still does not run
