Thank you dear friend. I did the changes you told me.
So, I did remove "root" and say crontab -e as root but
nothing changed.  it kept sending mail saying that it
cannot find mrtg directory...BUT there is one.. 
I also copied the run.sh scritp to the parent folder.
and now crontab -l gives: 
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/www/run.sh 

and i get now THIS mail:

env: mrtg: No such file or directory

I also checked the /etc/crontab and there is nothing
more than the default in there, as well as
/usr/src/crontab.
Any suggestions?
