Sure thing, here is the file. But the line I added (right at the bottom) is commented out. BTW I am running 5.1 release. I also get operator not found when it tries to run the second entry.

Nonsense, I said, I am I'd say you should post the new line you added to cron. Sounds like you have the formatting incorrectlying, and it is trying to run a bogus command called either 'cron' or 'root'. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD blog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog ******************** This email communication is intended as a private communication for the sole use of the primary addressee and those individuals listed for copies in the original message.
