Oct 30 21:14:01 host /usr/sbin/cron[1585]: (*system*bfd) ERROR (Syntax error, this crontab file will be ignored)

The version of cron shipped with debian and ubuntu seems to have problems with the assignment of the SHELL and MAILTO variables.

SHELL=/bin/bash -> does not work
SHELL=”/bin/sh” -> works

Thanks for you efforts!

Any ideas? System is IPv6 enabled. This is the output of "netstat -npl":

Jason:

Hi,
Great project, thanks!
Quick question. In the conf the USER setting. Is this meant for a user or an email address?

It can be a local system account, or an email address. A local system account requires the proper mail services installed locally. I would recommend you set this to an email address.

Great project, thanks!
