Subject: cron jobs not running as root
I have created a cron job and while logged in as root the scipt runs
fine but if I configure crontab like contab -u root -e the job does not
run.

I do see the job start in /var/log/syslog

The way that I know the job does not work sucessfully is becuase part of
the job is to send out an email and that is not working unless running
it at the command prompt as root.
