When the exact time reached, the script that is specified is the crontab did not get executed. But, if I restart the cron daemon (using the command /etc/init.d/crond restart) after adding the cron entry (using crontab -e command), then the script gets executed at the specified time. When I looked at the man page of crond, they have clearly mentioned that, it is not required to restart cron daemon everytime the cron entries are updated. Am not sure whether I need to start the cron daemon with specific parameters so that it does not need to be restarted every time I update the cron entries. Any help is appreciated.
