Q:

No user returned when running job using crontab

I dont have a cron.allow and have a blank cron.deny file.
My crontab looks like below:
# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# |  .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# |  |  .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# |  |  |  .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# |  |  |  |  .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# |  |  |  |  |
# *  *  *  *  * user-name  command to be executed

# test entry
* * * * * echo `who am i` > /home/2125/RR_Dev_Code/ETL/crontab.test

But, this is not writing the user to the test file. The file gets created which means cron gets fired for my user.
When i execute a who am i from CLI, it returns a valid user. 
Am i missing something here ?

A:

Here is my suggestion
Add proper logging,
* * * * * echo `who am i` 1> /home/2125/RR_Dev_Code/ETL/crontab.test.out 2>/home/2125/RR_Dev_Code/ETL/crontab.test.err

Then see the content of the files. It will tell you the precise problem.
(And BTW, it should be whoami not who am i)
