I added a username, but crontab -e didn't complain.
I still fear your crontab won't do what you expect it to do.
Most probably cron will just see what you intended as a user
name as part of the command:
rprice /mnt/home/rprice/bark/bark.sh 11 > /dev/null 2>&1
will run the command "rprice" on the args "/mnt..."; most of
the time this will be a "no such file or so-and-so", sometimes
it might lead to surprising results ;-)
This is all correct. You (Roger) should remove the username field from
the "crontab -e" variant. Beyond that, if your command isn't working
when run from cron, you will need to read the output. So get rid of
those redirections, and let it email the output to you.
