You need to figure out a way to get your program to tell you *what* exactly fails. A lot of things are different from cron - the most often noticed one being that you have a much shorter PATH - so maybe that is it. But if not, it will save you time to get your application to report what exactly it is doing that fails. --=20 http://freebsdwiki.org/ - Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0xBF15490B --XMCwj5IQnwKtuyBG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFArkosIJm2TL8VSQsRAk4UAJ488TXwD+JG1Wim0gzN9XYwlHc2pwCgjKKj vSEM/2oNA9wNCKL10XkTS60= =OjMo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XMCwj5IQnwKtuyBG--
