Hi,
I'm trying to get a python script to run from /etc/crontab, but it

I've read about the most common issues being related to paths, but my

They should be, yes. I would try loading the modules (kldload) just to
be sure. If loading the modules doesn't fix things, then it's safe to
assume they were compiled in kernel. (But then again, I'm certainly
not an expert in this area.)

Usually, when cron tries to run something unsuccessfully, an
error message goes to root. You might look at root's mail to see
if there are any complaints regarding this script. They could be
