Hi,
Try to use the absolute path of your zmcontrol, it might work. I also
experienced the same problem with perl and cron. I just edited my program
and use absolute path for all binaries I call on the program and it works
with me.

Setting up RAID or changing RAID levels will wipe out your hard drives.
So you have to back up your system and data, configure RAID, then
restore your system and data.
After you've set up hardware RAID, it's transparent to the OS.

try this: 10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /path/to/perlscript >
/path/to/somelog.log
and check the content of 'somelog.log', this will give you an idea whether
the script was executed properly.
you can also replace 10,20,30,40,50 with */10 if you want it to execute
every 10 mins.
quick guess: maybe 'zmcontrol' is not on your execution path or maybe perl
cannot resolve where it is.

Zmcontrol is in the execution path when logged in as user zimbra. Cron
entry
is under user zimbra. I believe that Perl can resolve where zmcontrol is
because running ./perlscript successfully detects if a process has stopped
and can successfully start and stop it too. I'll try your suggestion
though
to see what happens when cron runs the script.
Thanks

you also might encounter problems. the 206m hardware RAID controller is
a "FAKE" raid controller. So you might also want to read up on that.

Most of the serial and usb bar code 'gun' works well with linux. One
thing you can do is upon upong recognizing the bar code, a picture
will pop-up, along with the employees info. The security officer then
will recognize the irregularities.

I don't know if it's the rule, but all the barcode scanners I've seen
just hijack the PS/2 keyboard cable and so they send the codes as if
you've typed them on the keyboard, albeit a lot faster.
This thread has also got me thinking I should just use this approach
instead of biometric (is that the right term) scanners.
