Cron(KCron)-Bash 101 Question

[IndyTim]

I'm just starting out in the world of bash scripting. I have a small backup script which I have written and verified at command level. I attempted to submit a cron job to have the script run via KCron and it crabs back

Program is not an executable file

.

The script is located in /home/<user>/bash/bin

Any suggestions as I have a number of other scripts that I want to develop and put under Cron.

Thanks,

IndyTim
