I created the file /var/cron/tabs/root . It is owner root, group wheel. permissions are -rw------- I have the following entry in the file root 0 22 2-31 * * /usr/local/bin/rsync -av /dept2/Marketing/ /data/Marketing 2>&1 /r oot/rsync.log Of course the line above is all on one line. Well, this command did not run last night. No /root/rsync.log file was created. No email was generated. Zip. what did I screw up to prevent cron from running the command ? thanks, Darryl
