I'm testing a method that works backwards. I use mDNS to give me a list that contains the computer names. Then if I convert these names to Bonjour names, I can ping then, which always gets the IP address from the name. Then I can store that data in a lookup table to use for converting IP addresses back to names. I made this into a standalone and it works fine. So then I set up a crontab entry to have the app run once a day. It runs fine and mDNS gets the list of networked computers, but ping just returns "/bin/sh: line 1: ping command not found". However on the same computer when I run the app manually, it works perfectly. There must be something happening when the app runs as a cron job that is messing with it's mind. Hopefully someone with a better grasp of cron than me, can come up with a solution.
