crontab accepted faulty line.

I put
3 4 * * * * /usr/local/bin/do_mycommand 2>&1 |mail me@home

and got /Desktop not found
or /Library not found.

Extra * in cron line matching some file....

PEBKS, but nice to know it will bite.

Why not, via 'Terminal', enter ...

cat /private/etc/crontab

... press <return>, copy the displayed text, and post such copied text.

Listing 'do_mycommand' would be also be nice.
