Re: [tlug] Crontab not executing [SOLVED]

Nguyen, Mike, Edmund, Scott,

Thank you for responding.

As you all pointed out, the problem essentially lay with not having 
specified a complete path to the "sh" command.

I followed the advice that said I should do away with the "sh" command 
anyway, by making the shell script executable (by adding "#! /bin/sh" to 
the top of the file and executing "chmod +x" on it).

I've verified that it works by adding an extra command to send me an 
email when it runs, and it did so this morning.

Thanks for the help!
