This command has invaild syntax:
Quote:
PATH= /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib
Lose the space character after the equals sign.

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib


Tip: Never have more than one command in a crontab line. Place the commands in a tried-and-tested shellscript and run that script from a crontab.
