Question AIX cronjob

Hi,

Anybody , please help me on how to use crontab for AIX.

I've done some, but fail.

I put in this :
crontab -l
59 23 * * * backup -o -f /dev/rmt0
>>> this error come out : backup :0511-225 cannot open /dev/rmt0. The input or output media is write-protected. backup:The backup command has ended abnormally.

The 2nd :
crontab -l
59 23 * * * /usr/lpp/CPfw1-41/log/fwtestlog.sh
>>>this error come out: Execute permission denied.


Is there any possibility that I can e-mail all the result for the cron job I have put in to the administrator so that I will know the result of the activity.One more thing, how to configure my sendmail so it can mail to the mail server.


Please HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
