Hi,
I was wondering if someone could shed some light. Currently was looking though the forums and saw someone else having the same issue. I saw that they did a cron job but for some odd reason im getting and error

03 13 * * * root /usr/bin/pmgqm send

and i get this

bin/sh: 1: root: not found

Thank you

where did you put this?
it tries to execute 'root' so just omit that column

`root` is not a (native) command. Use `sudo` instead if you really need to run it as root. Then, make sure the cron user may execute `sudo` without being asked for a password.

Thanks for the reply, that did the trick @dcsapak took out root, i guess im used to ubuntu servers always put the root there.

Thanks again

`root` is not a command on Ubuntu either AFAIK.
