Below you'll see that I'm trying to cd to the /var/cron/tabs
directory. For some reason I cannot do it. I assumed this was
because I was not root. Therefore, I try to use sudo. However, sudo
doesn't work with cd. Can someone help me understand the following:
1. Why can't I cd to the tabs directory?
2. Why will sudo not work with cd?
Your help is appreciated.
