Please press enter every 72 characters or so, or set you mail client to wrap properly. I don't know where cron is picking up /bin/sh, however it shouldn't hurt anything. /bin/sh should be a symbolic link to /bin/bash. $ ll /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 12 19:09 /bin/sh -> bash Have you specified the user to run the cron job as in /etc/crontab? Like so: 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly I'm not sure how cron behaves if the user isn't set when executing from /etc/crontab. What are the remaining cron environmental variables shown in the message? For example: 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> - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj0CNCwACgkQn/07WoAb/StaSQCdFjIGQxXKNdMaF8bq5MJCpAb1 l30AnjdYCQ1pSbvfSA8pknQgA0ZfmScT =8RmK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
