Hi everyone, I have changed the times on crontab this evening and restarted cron (all as root of course, but "su"d in a window. Had to, since my computer is not on at night when the cron-entries usually are run. This is what I get when the hourly check runs: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 12 Jul 2000 20:26:00 -0000 From: Cron Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cron <root@internet> root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly /bin/bash: root: command not found --- My crontab looks like this (I just changed the times to start things:) SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] HOME=/ # run-parts 26 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 02 9 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily 22 9 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 42 9 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly # Mandrake-Security:if you remove this comment, remove the next line too. 0 9 * * * root /usr/share/msec/security.sh I had thought that this might be a problem because the system had not reloaded crontab on boot, but this morning, just now, the very same thing happened.
