Re: Freebsd + cron job +perl script

Patrick MARION a écrit :

Can you tell more about your script.

The first thing about difference between command line dand cron is about environment or perhaps STDIN.

Perhaps you can make a trace with several "print tracexxx" at several critical places in your script.

Without redirection to an explicit file all output of a cron script are routed with mail to the cron user.
