updating a job in cron
I have updated the cronjob entry like below.

55 06 * * * <script name>|mailx -s <subject> abc@gmail.com bcd@gmail.com

in the cron file ( i.e. /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root)

Before updation the entry was like below.

55 06 * * * <script name>|mailx -s <subject> abc@gmail.com

I have added just one email id with space as separator . when I run crontab -l, it is showing the updated entry.

when I see the /var/cron/log, it shows the old job run ( mail sent to abc@gmail.com only)

Please let me know what is the issue
