Cron job/tab question

I have a script in /home/beheerder called backup.sh
Running the script by hand: ./backup.sh works fine..

Now I schedule the script to run daily at 2 at night.

So I do: crontab -e and add:

00 02 * * * /home/beheerder/backup.sh


To test if it would run I entered the current time + 5 minutes.. but nothing is running, the only error i see in the crond log at the time i scheduled my job is a sendmail error:
unable to exec /usr/sbin/sendmail -t, user -oem, output to sink null

But i am not even calling send mail...

How can I make my job run?

Re: Cron job/tab question

Did you try to do "crontab -l" to verify? If not please do
