[rhn-users] cron job fails

[Sterling, James A]

Try using a fully qualified path to the script & command i.e.
/usr/local/perl /user/home/jim.pl   
 
A lot of times the path is not defined when the script runs.. it can not
find the application nor the script..
 
Your logon path may have the full path.. the systems shell may not (
this has bitten me a time or three ) 
 
Hope this helps

Subject: [rhn-users] cron job fails


Hi ,
I am  trying to schedule this perl script with the cron scheduler but it
will not run when it is scheduled.
If i run it with the at command the scripts runs fine (ftp file to dir ,
decrypts it and ftp it to dest).
When running thru  the cron scheduler I get pgp decryption failed
return code -1 and the messaage
Can't exec "pgp": No such file or directory at  (user/homedir/). The
first part of the script worked (file is ftp into the users
working dir) .
If i look in the home dir the file is there. I am new at this . What am
i missing??
Thanks
For your help
Dominick
