HELP!!! cron bugs

[Ted Lemon]

Hm.   I'm using Ultrix cron quite happily, and have never run into the
problems you've mentioned.   The main wins about Paul's cron have to do
with featurefullness, not with basic functionality.

I wonder if you're setting your path in your shell scripts?   I've run
into problems from time to time where I test a shell script while
logged in, and it works just fine, but when I run it from cron,
nothing happens.   In every case, it's been because I assumed that I'd
get the same path from cron that I normally get when I login.   In
fact, /usr/ucb isn't present in the path you inherit from cron, and
some other things you may assume are present also are not.
