What did I do wrong here; I edited /etc/crontab by adding two lines for execution and I think I even added then syntactically correct. I ran (just like Handbook told to do) crontab /etc/crontab. Now I get emails that say: Subject: Cron root /usr/libexec/atrun root: not found root is the user that should run the lines. Here is a line from crontab: # make full backup weekly 00 4 * * 7 root /usr/local/sbin/full_backup I commented out the lines that I added but still I get lines like that... Any help? Thanks! Regards, Johan Paul
