[TriLUG] Server script question

[WA Brown]

I have it set to work every 10 minutes while I check. This is exactly how I 
entered the command (with the correct lables). Are all the spaces right?

10 * * * * mail -s 'log files' youremail at domain.extension  < 
/path/to/log/files

Do you see anything wrong? This is added to the crontab.
