Re: Cron Errors in Root's Mail

The following is showing up in root's mail box every 10 minutes:
/bin/sh: line 1: root: command not found
This is apparently from the sysstat job found in /etc/cron.d:
# run system activity accounting tool every 10 minutes
*/10 * * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1
# generate a daily summary of process accounting at 23:53
53 23 * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
What does the "root" parameter do (or not do)? It looks like crond was
updated on 26 July.
It sets that the cronjob is running as user root.

Check that you do not have such a line in any /var/spool/cron/$USER
file.
