[cobalt-users] crontab error



Good morning,

I've seen a couple of references in the archives to people having this
problem but don't see that it was ever solved.

In making changes to crontab I have somehow managed to begin getting the
following message emailed to me each time a cron job runs:

>From root  Sat Apr 21 01:01:01 2001
>Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2001 01:01:01 -0400
>From: root (Cron Daemon)
>To: root
>Subject: Cron <root@www> root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
>X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/bash>
>X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin>
>X-Cron-Env: <MAILTO=root>
>X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/>
>X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>

>/bin/bash: root: command not found

I have now taken "root" out of each of the lines in the crontab file and it
seems to be working but I wonder if I've caused myself some potential
problems?
