Okay, I exported the updated path to include "/usr/local/bin". Still not working though. My script is in /usr/local/Backup/scripts/bkup-daily. Since I'm referencing the absolute path in /etc/crontab like this: 35 13 * * * root /usr/local /Backup/scripts/bkup-daily I don't have to export /usr/local/Backup/scripts, right? root@server# export PATH="/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin" -----Original Message----- From: Giorgos Keramidas [mailto:keramida@ceid.upatras.gr] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 1:18 PM To: Brandon Hinesley Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Cron Job will not run. Merely adding it as an assignment is not enough for child processes of the cron script to 'see' the value. Make sure you also 'export' the new PATH: PATH='...' export PATH Then the rsync process will use the new PATH.
