Cron Problems

[Christian Campbell]

I’m running a php script from a cronjob and receive the following output
when it runs:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' 
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&'

I've tried running it as root, and as a non-privileged user.  When I run it
directly from the command-line, it runs without issue.  I've run it by using
'crontab -e' or directly editing /etc/crontab and restarting crond.

My cron entry is:  */5 * * * * root php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php >
/dev/null 2>& 

and I've also tried:  */5 * * * * php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php >
/dev/null 2>&

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Christian
