tailing the /var/log/cron I can see that is being executed every
minute... but no emails arrived with is the proof that the script has
worked.

Hi folks,
Im having probs when a root crontab located on /var/cron/tabs/root

both of them are sending logs to my email, when runned from the
command line works, but not from crontab
any ideas?
The keywords here are
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
Either edit the system crontab, /etc/crontab, or, to edit root's crontab,
run crontab -e as root.
Please don't top post.
Firstly, don't rely on environment variables being set correctly when
running from cron. If you really want to use root's crontab, substitute
/root for $HOME.
Secondly, bash should be in /usr/local/bin, not in /bin. And it's a
third party shell not included by the system. It has to be installed
from ports. You should use /bin/sh instead.
Thirdly, instead of putting the interpreter path on the command line,
put it on the first line of your scripts, i.e.
#!/bin/sh in the first one
and
#!/usr/bin/perl in the second one.
