Whenever you have a problem like this (ie. "Script foo works perfectly from the command line but not from cron"), you should always run /usr/bin/env (or /bin/env) from cron, and then manually run your script with that same environment (unsetting any envariables you need to get your shell to match that of the cron environment) -- that will show you fairly quickly what is wrong and how this particular box is different from your 7 other ones. Usually it is just a PATH issue, but sometimes it may be some missing envariable that you didn't even realize existed (or that your script depended on it). Thomas -- N.J.
