Greetings,
I am running 5.1-release.  I created the file
/var/cron/tabs/root .  It is owner root, group wheel.
permissions are -rw-------

I have the following entry in the file root

0 22 2-31 * * /usr/local/bin/rsync -av /dept2/Marketing/ /data/Marketing
2>&1 /r
oot/rsync.log

Of course the line above is all on one line.

Well, this command did not run last night.  No /root/rsync.log file was
created.
No email was generated.  Zip.

what did I screw up to prevent cron from running the command ?

thanks,
Darryl
