</div>If that really is a crontab file (created with the crontab -e command) and not a file in one of the /etc/cron.* directories then the entry should be<br>
30 2 * * * /usr/sbin/pm-suspend 2>&1 >/home/user/Templog/Cron.log<br>
<br>
You don't specify the user in a crontab file as there is one file per user.<br>
<br>
