After adding some devices I have problem with using nav start/stop script:

[root@nav ~]# /usr/local/nav/bin/nav start "-":8: bad minute errors in crontab file, can't install. Starting networkDiscovery: Failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/nav/bin/nav", line 181, in ? main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/local/nav/bin/nav", line 101, in main commandFunc(queryList) File "/usr/local/nav/bin/nav", line 136, in c_start serviceIterator(queryList, helper) File "/usr/local/nav/bin/nav", line 113, in serviceIterator func(services[service]) File "/usr/local/nav/bin/nav", line 132, in helper service.start() File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/startstop.py", line 166, in start raise e nav.startstop.CrontabError: 256

and one more: [root@nav /]# /usr/local/nav/bin/nav status networkDiscovery: Up NOTICE: Current crontab does not match the content of networkDiscovery ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ cricket: Up eventEngine does not seem to be running... logengine: Up backup: Up servicemon.py does not seem to be running... smsd.pl does not seem to be running... thresholdMon: Up mactrace: Up iptrace: Up safe_smsd: Up Alertengine is not running.

I looked at navcron files and didn't find any errors, can anybody help? Where I should look for an errors?
