I'm not using the rundig script ... I wrote my own using pieces of
rundig since I do some additional processing after the dig/merge (like
extracting the bad links section from the htdig output and mailing it
myself, etc..).
So my script initially used bash to do the htdig, htmerge, etc...and
htmerge would fail when run from cron. After upgrading cron it still
failed. Now that I'm running it from csh everything is working fine.
Switching from bash to csh (and possibly the cron upgrade) fixed my
problem. Being somewhat new to Linux I have no idea *why* that fixed
it, but I'm happily digging away in cron now. :)
