[cobalt-users] crontab /bin/bash: root: command not found



I think I have done a bad thing...

I edited my crontab file directly. i.e. vi /etc/crontab. I added some lines and saved it. I then figured out that that was not the correct way to do it so I went in and deleted the lines that I added and then did:

crontab -e

and added the appropriate lines. (all of this as su - root). Now it seems that I am getting the following email error everytime crontab tries to run any of the hourly, half-hourly, quarter-hourly etc:

Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 23:18:00 -0700
From: Cron Daemon <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: Cron <root@ns> root run-parts /etc/cron.quarter-hourly

/bin/bash: root: command not found

How can I fix this so I don't receive the emails and to make sure crontab is running correctly?

Please help!...

Thanks...
