[Mailman-Users] /bin/sh: mailman: command not found

[Fahad Saeed]

Thankyou Guys.It seems that my web interface is working fine for mailman as mark said.I tried to change the cron config files that were suggested, but it seems that I am still missing something.I am not getting the same email as the administrator, but none of the subscribed users are getting any emails.Below are the cron files in the system.Suggestions would be highly appreciable.
This is the crontab.in that I changed as suggested by the faq.

and this is what is in  /etc/cron.d/mailman

# At 8AM every day, mail reminders to admins as to pending requests.
# They are less likely to ignore these reminders if they're mailed
