Hello,
Running FreeBSD 4.6 and having some problems with a crontab.
I have a script I want to execute every 15 minutes.
When I add the entry (as root) crontab -e
and insert this line:
*/15* * * * root /usr/libexec/rs2 /var/log/rs.log
I get an error when trying
and insert this line:
*/15* * * * root /usr/libexec/rs2
/var/log/rs.log
Check to see if you have extra blank lines after the last line. Delete them.

When you use a user crontab (crontab -e), you don't include the user field.
The user's own id is implied. I always put a (comment) header line in the
user crontab so that it's clear what the fields are.
So, your example:
*/15* * * * root /usr/libexec/rs2 /var/log
Thanks all.
By the way now I'm getting some more errors Check this out.

Check and modify your resource limits.
man login.conf
man limits
man csh (type: /^[[:space:]]*limit)
man sh (type: /^[[:space:]]*ulimit)
