AH!! Found my error.
When I right crontabs I try to include absolute paths whenever possible. It seems that I can invoke analog with an absolute path, but from the analog6.03 directory, I need to omit the "/" after the "-g" switch. This is the command that works when I want to change config files and want an absolute path declared for the analog executable: (The "glib" is not the gnu lib but -g and the directory "lib_analog_config" /usr/local/analog-6.03/analog +G -glib_analog_config/ob_analog.cfg > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Richard Hamilton > Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 3:19 PM > To: Support for analog web log analyzer > Subject: Re: [analog-help] Alternate config files > > > Brian, > > "If the name of a configuration file given in a CONFIGFILE > command doesn't include a directory, it will be looked for > wherever analog expects to find its configuration files. > (This location is a compile-time option.)
