cron is trying to run a command called root and can't find it.
This format will only work in /etc/crontab. I am suprised that you don't get
mails fron the other lines as well. If you want to use crontab -e don't try to
specify a user namesine cron already knows the user (the one who's crontab it
is)
The corrected line to have in a users ( including root) crontab (using crontab
-e) will look like this:
18 9 * * 1-5 /etc/bkupjob/backup
I had not really looked at this before and could not find any reference to the
user name field in the man pages, but this is the behavior I observed in a
quick little test I did.
