I have tried the command >two different ways, both fail with the same error message: Typically this type of problem is caused by environment variables that are set in a login shell, but are missing or different than those set for jobs running under cron. A relatively simple way of finding the differences in the environment is to use the ``env'' command. In the shell, execute the command ``env | sort > /tmp/env.shell''. Then create a simple script and run it under cron: #!/bin/bash # (or whatever you run as a shell) env | sort > /tmp/env.cron exit. Use ``diff -u /tmp/env.shell /tmp/env.cron'' to see the differences.
