Hi list. # uname -a FreeBSD gatekeeper.pp.dyndns.biz 7.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p4 #0: Thu Sep 4 10:58:01 CEST 2008 pp@gatekeeper.pp.dyndns.biz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL amd64 # which pkg_info /usr/sbin/pkg_info When I try to use crontab to "make index" in /usr/ports I end up with this: Generating INDEX-7 - please wait..pkg_info: not found pkg_info: not found pkg_info: not found pkg_info: not found <snip> Done. I've tried to put the command directly in the crontab entry and also in a separate shell script but the result is the same. Running "make index" manually works fine and doesn't show those "pkg_info" messages. Does "make index" need another shell than /bin/sh to work or isn't the path working or what am I doing wrong? Is there a preferred way to update the ports source tree and create the index through crontab? Thanks Morgan
