Problems running SH jobs using CRON

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there,

I have two SH jobs I've always run manually in the past and would like
to have them run once a week automatically using cron..  I looked on
the internet for examples of running SH jobs and used crontab -e to
create this:

[root@alice jeff]# cat /var/spool/cron/root
45 12 * * 0 root /bin/sh /home/jeff/jeffbkup.sh
11 3 * * 6 root /home/jeff/rsynchbkup.sh

When each scheduled job fires off, I get an email from Cron_Daemon
with this message:

/bin/sh: root: command not found

This endeavor seemed pretty straight forward and after adding /bin to
my path and still getting the above message, I'm kinda stumped now.
Any suggestions or any more info I can offer?  Thanks!
