The interesting thing is that mail from cron shows that it knows that the PATH has been changed, (X-Cron-Env: output) along with other environment settings that work; but scripts being run are getting a default path of /usr/bin:/bin! I could just edit all my scripts, but that is a maintenance headache. Does anyone have any clues? This is the same crontab that was running successfully on a 2.0.1 machine. No errors are being logged by cron either. Thanks for any info, edgar nielsen
