Hi.

I want to restart named in a script executed by a cron. My script is:

#!/bin/sh
# verify named conf and restart it
/usr/sbin/named-checkconf
if [ ! $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Errors when verifying named configuration"
        exit 1
else
        /etc/rc.d/named restart > /dev/null
fi

# Ok, it's done
exit 0


However, the cron returns some errors:
umount: not found
mtree: not found
umount: not found
mount: not found
/etc/rc.d/named: WARNING: devfs_domount(): Unable to mount devfs on 
/var/named/dev
devfs: not found
devfs: not found

I can restart named manually, but not with a cron.

Do you have an idea to solve this problem? Why could I restart it manually and 
not with a cron?

Thanks!

Well, probably cron does not share your environment, thus it does not have your PATH. It simply cannot find the commands you see as "not found".
Try inserting something like:

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

at the top of your script. Alternatively, you could use full paths to the commands in the script, but it seems the errors come from the system scriprt, /etc/rc.d/named and you wouldn't want to touch that.
