I am setting up a cron job to run a shell script at 1 hr interval and to
have the output of the script sent to a user. I have this in the cron
file inserted by crontab
cat /var/cron/tabs/whoser
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (cron_reg installed on Fri Dec 24 18:13:01 2004)

/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/pam2deb.shl
MAILTO=user
where pam2deb.shl is the shell script, permissions 755
So far w/ little success, the script did not run, much less send a mail,
does this syntax have a problem?
and cron is running
ps -waux | grep cron
root 142 0.0 0.1 1024 696 ?? Is 26Jul04 0:49.29
/usr/sbin/cron
at least apparently
Thanks
