Folks, read the error message: /bin/sh (this is what's complaining, i.e. the shell) line 1 (this is the location of the error) Desktop: command not found (this is the actual error) The shell is trying to run a command called "Desktop", but it can't find such a command. That's the first non-dot file in the user's home directory. Someone else in the thread pointed out the problem, there's an extra "*" in the crontab. I just wanted to point out that nobody else actually read the error message. If you don't read or understand the error message, there is little value in trying to fix it.
