Thank you very much! This was a real help. Just one issue. When I set
it as a cron job, it said:
sa-learn: not found
Give the full path to sa-learn (or put `which sa-learn`)
'which' doesn't work if the executable is not in your PATH
environment variable. Most flavors of cron (wisely) provide a very
limited value for PATH, in some cases just "/bin:/usr/bin" and on
some systems /bin is just a symlink to /usr/bin anyway...
If you are using Vixie Cron or a workalike, you can set PATH in your
crontab and never have to worry about forgetting to use a full
pathname. That can also help protect against running an unexpected
version of something on a system where alternative implementations
may lurk behind unexpected PATH's.
