/etc/cron problem

[lindsay at cheviot.UUCP]

The problem we were having was caused by the presence of #! lines at the
start of shell scripts. cron does a "sh -c" of the command line in
crontab and the version of the shell used does not recognise # as a comment
line so bombs out on any shellscript in the file that starts with #!.....

Thanks to Nigel Horne (njh at root44.uucp for putting me on the track of that
one.
