You might have to enable the cron log if there is no log from > cron (check here: [1]). I couldn't find a "cron log" per se, but figured out stuff from cron is logged in syslog. I also piped output from my script to a log, but it didn't reveal anything until cron started firing it off. Now it's working. I have not determined what the initial problem was. I think restarting cron, perhaps, is what solved the issue, however. thanks, tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time! 3F330C6E
