You are trying to follow instructions for a package and perhaps even an OS which you do not have. >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ # groups mailman >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cron mailman >cron: can't open or create /var/run/crond.pid: Permission denied >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ # cd /usr/local/mailman/cron && crontab -u mailman >crontab.in > >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ # su - mailman In 3 of the four lines, the '#' you typed is actually the 'root' shell prompt in the example you are copying. Thus you are typing comments, not commands. >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ $ cd /usr/local/mailman/cron >bash: $: command not found Here and in the following you typed a '$' prompt as opposed to the '#' above so bash told you there is no '$' command. You need to get some help and instruction from somone who knows something about Unix/Linux. That is beyond the scope of the [email protected] list. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
