What if you remove "root" from the command? I'm not sure why it is there in the first place. Without rereading man 5 crontab I can only guess that you want to run the script as root? If so, put the entry in root's crontab or use su, sudo, or something of the sort. -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
