To all that answered my plea for assistance,

Thanks for the helpful hints and suggestions.

Gavin Cameron & Greg Lehey were correct in stating that the full path
needed to be specified in the program to get the cron to ping correctly.  

Frankly, a completely junior mistake Im ashamed to admit to but I felt it
necessary to thank the list for their help.  I got no such help from ANY of
the IRC channels associated with the unix community.

Keep up the good work,

JS
