You're using the syntax for a system-wide crontab, ie, /etc/crontab. Per-user crontabs do not have the middle field listing the user to run as; re-run crontab -e and try this instead: @reboot /usr/local/sbin/logwatch.pl 02 4 * * * /usr/local/sbin/logwatch.pl Regards, -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
