setting in your /etc/crontab file for running daily jobs? You could modify the
daily entry (or temporarily mv your script to /etc/cron.hourly) as part of your
debugging process. I have to believe the script is being kicked off by cron
but, as someone else has noted, may have a PATH problem or other environmental variable
problem of some sort. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
