People,
I keep getting these emails, from multiple servers relating to entries in /etc/crontab. AFAIK, I'm doing everything right (maybe not the best way technically, but following what the documentation says):
-- using crontab -e -- looks the same to me as a working crontab on another server -- crontab package versions the same as a working crontab -- checked `man -e5 crontab` to see I had the correct format
I've googled for about 3 hours, and nothing that looks like an answer, despite the fact that the problem happens often enough to deserve a FAQ.
I did find where for some reason, vi stuck a 2 byte UTF-8 character in for the tab key (why? why? why?), but replacing it with a space did not help, the only difference now is that the wide character doesn't show on the subject line in my Mozilla mailbox. In fact I replaced all the tabs in /etc/crontab with space to no effect.
I'm all out of clue and this has my production servers snarled up. Any ideas here?
