Hi Richard, thank you for your reply, I will look at these more closely as for the moment I have not set a user specific cron, I am just using the root to run these.
All I did was follow the tutorial, perhaps I have missed some points ;( Cheers Norman Richard Fish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 1/5/07, norman wrote: > Hello, > I am running vixie-cron, but am unable to figure out what this is all about, > I have followed the > http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cron-guide.xml > > But on the report email, I only get on the email, the following: > > /bin/sh: root: command not found > Here is my /etc/crontab That's the system crontab, which should have a user field in it.
