It's not dcron complaining about /bin/sh not existing, it's /bin/sh complaining about some command not existing. In fact, bash's error message format indicates that something is trying to execute "root": % bash -c "echl" bash: echl: Kommando nicht gefunden. (dash's error message would look like this: % dash -c "echl" dash: 1: echl: not found) HTH -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
