Not sure if it work but you can try to remove one zero from the start of your commad and try
Code:
0 2

. Also have you run the command seperately . Is this working fine when you are running it alone.

Hi,
I have removed the job (its not needed) and the cronfile saves without any errors but saves as "/tmp/crontabhNaiKL" 43 lines, 2957 characters" and not the name of the file 'runjobs'

How do I fix this?

Thank you,
Scarlet

That's two lines - someone managed to split the commented line!
To correct it, in the commented line please join the next trail.log line!
