[gentoo-user] hwclock: command not found

2013-02-25 Thread Joseph 

I'm updating clock via bash script. When I run it from a command line, it works 
just fine but when I try to run it via crontab I get:

/home/thelma/business/programs/time_date_setting_script.sh: line 3: hwclock: 
command not found

here the script:
#!/bin/sh
rdate -s 128.138.140.44
hwclock --systohc

and crontab entry:
45 12 * * 1 sh /home/thelma/business/programs/time_date_setting_script.sh

When I run the scrip manually or just the command: hwclock --systohc it is 
working OK; why isn't it working from the crontab?

Could it be that cron doesn't have this command on its PATH? Might be
best to put the full path to hwclock instead of just hwclock.

I've noticed that cron doesn't have /sbin and /usr/sbin in PATH. Try
using the absolute path to hwclock.
