OT: command line vs. cron
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
i've run into a problem i've never seen before. when i execute
/usr/bin/tvguide.pl > /www/htdocs/tvguide.inc
from the commandline, it works perfectly. however, when i put
0,30 * * * * /usr/bin/tvguide.pl > /www/htdocs/tvguide.inc
into root's crontab, tvguide.inc is created with nothing in it.
ls -al /www/htdocs/tvguide.inc
- -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 23 21:11 tvguide.inc
so, it can't be a permission problem.
anybody have any ideas as to why it works from the command line but not
from cron? i'm sure it's something simple that i'm overlooking.
