You missed out the username. The redirections all need to be on the
same line as the command, too.


I changed the crontab file to this but still no action:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
27 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
54 * * * * root sh /var/sioux/docs/dstcheck/processes/proread.sh
27 9 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
07 12 * * * root sh /var/sioux/docs/dstcheck/files/fileread.sh
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

Thanks in advance for help.
