Description Alexander 2010-08-11 14:32:05 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have created a new task with the next command: "touch Desktop/tmp.txt", and set it to run every minutes, but tmp.txt file not created. If I'll press the button "run it now" — this task starts normally and create the tmp.txt file on my Desktop.

Reproducible: Always

Works here, so there is something wrong with your "cron" setup.

Check the files /etc/cron.* and /var/spool/cron/* and make sure that "cron" service is installed and running.

If this does not work, please ask in the Archlinux forum how to correctly setup "cron" and "crontab" commands so that they allow regular users to run commands.
