You could, for debugging pourposes: * look at mails that cron sends if a commnd give any output; * replace temporarilly the command with set -x;echo $PATH;which ps;which grep;which find;which logger;ps -eaf | grep -E ... * replace the command with a shell script which executes the command in a shell with set -x and/or other shell debugging options; for example also temporarilly drop redirection to /dev/null -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
