wild guess that since it specified ":1" it means line one, if line one is SHELL=/bin/sh that is probably what its bitching about .. ive never tried to put variables directly into crontab ..course it may work i justnever tried it. another thing is comment out everything and uncomment one thing at a time until it stops bithcing :) nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
