SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILTO=admin

22 2 * * * admin /bin/webalizer -n www.discount.de -o
/www/vhtdocs/discount/statistik /www/vhtdocs/discount/log/access_log

when time is come i get a mail message:
/bin/bash: admin: command not found

when i use the cron command in a telnet line it works.

plese help!

admin is not a command.  You may want to script that and call the script
from crontab:

0 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/scripts/webalize.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

#!/bin/sh
#webalize.sh
/sbin/webalizer -n www.discount.de -o /www/vhtdocs/discount/statistik
/www/vhtdocs/discount/log/access_log

then in /etc/aliases have the line:
admin:  myuser
root:   myuser

That way, if you want to also do something like DNS lookups, you only
need to add another line to have a temporary file for the addresses and
then delete the temp file at the end of the script.

The format for your personal crontab (i.e. crontab -e) is different than
that for /etc/crontab. In this case, just get rid of "admin" and it should
work.

Make sure the user admin is listed in /etc/cron.allow.

The syntax of the line is incorrect.
You do not need to add admin in front of the command-line, that is the
reason of your problem. Cron starts a shell and wants to start the
command :

admin /bin/webalizer -n www.discount.de -o
/www/vhtdocs/discount/statistik /www/vhtdocs/discount/log/access_log

But obviously can not find the command 'admin'
