The only thing that I see right off is that faxstat might not reside in a directory in the cron path. I have run into this before. You might try giving an absolute path and see if that works.

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.
