I'm trying to add a cron job and am getting the following in the cron log when I try to add the job: (tmp.1150) ORPHAN (no passwd entry) Here is the the cron entry I'm trying to add: 00 03 * * * /usr/MYSQL_BACKUP_SCRIPT/mysql_backup.3.1.cgi 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null The mysql_backup.3.1.cgi script is written in perl. If I'm logged in as root I can run the script just fine using the command I'm trying to add into cron. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance. Mitchell S.
