ViX 6.0.003
I'm having a problem with a couple of cron timers that I've set not running. I can run them from the ViX script runner with no problems.
Permissions for the scripts in /usr/script/ & /usr/scripts/ and the scripts in cron.hourly/daily are set at 755 and the crontabs root file is also 755.
I've checked /var/log/messages and seeing a lot of errors:

Does anyone have any ideas?
messages.log
EDIT: It seems to be something to do with my /etc/cron/crontabs/root file. I've deleted it and set my jobs up manually in the cron timer plugin and seems to be running.
Maybe the one in my settings backup is corrupted in some way but it looks okay?
