As the subject says, this is probably a newbie question (I am new to
FreeBSD but quite experienced at Linux).
FreeBSD9 on x86_64.
Cron is running:
$ ps -ax|grep cron
1513 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/cron -s
2283 0 S+ 0:00.00 grep cron

I have a syntactically valid crontab:
$ crontab -l
#min hr dom month dow command
SHELL=/bin/bash
Pitfall: Even if bash is installed, it's not usually under /bin, but
under /usr/local/bin
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/
daddy/bin
HOME=/home/walterh
00 02 * * * /home/walterh/exports.sh

10 02 * * * /home/walterh/systemcheck.sh
15 02 * * * /home/walterh/backup_bsd.sh

So what is wrong? Why is nothing happening? I have consulted the handbook
but see nothing.
Have you installed bash? It's not in the system base.
What's in your shell scripts?
