Cron jobs are started. Just their output are not sent in emails. The 
output of the maillog I already sent before:

May 14 10:53:00 server postfix/sendmail[2958]: fatal: user(1001): No recipient addresses found in message header

I tend to use double quotes for command line parameters. This is just a 
habit that I use it even when it is not really necessary.


Output from /var/log/cron follows




Jun  1 04:55:00 shopzeus /usr/sbin/cron[89378]: (tmp.27734) ORPHAN (no 
passwd entry)

(Followed by other similar rows with NSSWITCH and CMD.)
