Hi list, Thanks Fred, thanks Roman - both of your suggestions worked.
As Roman suggested, the problem was that cron does not know much about its environment, so while it seems to know /bin (where nc resides on my system, which is why Fred's suggestion worked), it does not know /usr/local/bin (where pdsend resides on my system). Thanks a lot for your contributions! best, flo.H Fred Voisin wrote: > you may test (it should work): > echo "foo bla bla" | nc -u host Pdportfornetreceive Roman Haefeli wrote: > Probably cron doesn't find the binaries.
