n terms of paths this is what I'm doing: I'm in a FreeBSD jail
logged in by - #jexec<jail> tcsh
which gets me in as root. Crontab is being run as root so paths
should be the same no?
PATH is set at the top of /etc/crontab

Ok, sorry for being slow but I still don't understand how the PATH
variable is connected to restarting tomcat?
This is the default PATH in /etc/crontab:
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
but where my script seems to not work well when run is at this point:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat6 restart
Does this mean that putting :/usr/local/etc to the PATH statement will
enable crontab to understand the .../etc/rc.d/ script variables?
I think where I'm getting confused is that I'm using 'absolute' paths
and my knowledge of the PATH is when one wants to run a command
specifically from a shell; as in 'top'. so you wouldn't need to run
/usr/bin/top.

Kaya
