Crontab "Desktop: command not found"

Question

This is my first attempt to use crontab. I have a working shell script, humassetsmonupload, in my /Users/Shared/ directory that when I run it without arguments, it does as expected.
I've made my first edit in crontab by adding this line:
*/10 * * * * * /Users/Shared/humassetsmonupload
According to my system mail messages, crontab is alerting me every ten minutes about it. But all messages say this:
/bin/sh: Desktop: command not found
The shebang matches it. The environment is correct it appears. But "Desktop" throws me. The shell script does not have this word in it. What am I overlooking?, sam

Answer 1

1st, you have too many * in your "When to Run" section. There are ONLY 5 fields. You have 6.
So that 6th field is actually treated as the first word of your command to execute. So you are trying to execute:
* /Users/Shared/humassetsmonupload
as your command. The * is going to list every file in your home directory, and if Desktop is the first name listed, then the shell is going to try and execute the command Desktop.
2nd, another thing to keep in mind. You do not have your full set of environment variables when running via cron.
It is useful to run a cron job that does a printenv
*/10 * * * * printenv >/tmp/cron.printenv
after you have your list of cron available environment variables, you can remote the printenv entry.
