[Perl-unix-users] cron can't run perl properly?

[Toddy Prawiraharjo]

This should be easy for this milis, I got this script running fine in
command-line/console in linux, but why I can't run it properly under
cron?

<code>
open FAXSTAT, "faxstat -s |";
$limit = $ARGV[0];
$smallest = 9999;
@tooBig = ();
$found = "no";

while(<FAXSTAT>){
        $jid = substr($_, 0,5);
        $content = "$jid\n";
        if (($jid =~ /\d/) && ($jid <= $smallest)){
                $smallest = $jid;
                #system("echo 'Smallest now is: $smallest'");
        }
}
</code>

If you see above code, if I execute perl manually, I can get the
$smallest. But not if I run in cron
Why?


TIA.
