Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron(8) daemon. SHELL is set to
/bin/sh, and LOGNAME and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the crontab's owner. HOME and
SHELL may be overridden by settings in the crontab; LOGNAME may not.
If you want to use bash -login, give the full path /bin/bash -login

You just answered your own question. sh is a link. it's the same as bash. remove the bash -login and make sure the file is executable.
Use -n to check your syntax. This is from the bash man page.
-n Read commands but do not execute them. This may be used to check a shell script for
syntax errors. This is ignored by interactive shells.

The big problems is this.
i have this script:
--------------------->
#!/bin/bash
##########################################################################################
# program : _tools/sys_backup_pc08spt.bash
#
# subject : cria um arquivo de backup de todo o portal e transfere para a
maquina pc08spt#
##########################################################################################
. /home/rphp/.bash_profile /app/portal_spt/htdocs/_tools/sys_funcs.bash and go one... --------------------->
the crontab line is this: 3 5 * * 1-6 `bash -login /app/portal_spt/htdocs/_tools/sys_backup_samba.bash`
but after run the crontab i see in maillog this message:
/bin/sh: changed: command not found
the /bin/sh is a link to the /bin/bash why the crontab is trying to run the script in sh...?

Are you sure you've posted the complete crontab?
Anyway, if all the commands are separate scripts and each script starts with:
#!/bin/bash
then the Right Thing should happen anyway.
I do wonder what you're doing that needs bash though... -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/
