setup cron job 45 weeks 3 hours ago

HI I am new to unix .

I wanted to create a cron job that runs a script every 10 min .So when I enter

Code: vi /etc/crontab I get the following output

Code:

Cron job won't run on Ubuntu 20 weeks 4 days ago

I have a simple shell script that runs fine when opened in terminal, but will not run at all as a cron job!

The script is as follows:

#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/sshfs example.com: /mnt /usr/bin/rsync -az -v --progress -h --delete /mnt/html/ /home/user/html/ /bin/fusermount -u /mnt

Any reasons why this shouldn't work? I'm new to Ubuntu and Cron so it might be something simple.

Thanks! (I added the job
