As a test, I set it up under the ubuntu user. When run from the command line,
the script runs and properly creates the expected output file in the /tmp
directory.
When I set up the crontab to run the script as ubuntu, I get an email saying:
"No such file or directory at /home/ubuntu/bin/test line 99."
which is the 'open' in the script.
