The general answer to a question of this type (i.e., why does this command work at the command line, but not when run from cron?) is that in the environment set during the execution of a script run from cron, there are only about SIX environment variables set, and much of the environment found in a command line environment is missing. However, in using standard scripts for Dachstein, this should not be a problem - but it occurs often enough that I thought I should mention it. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
