Hello all,
when I run 'vnstat  >/var/www/html/usage' from a shell, I get a text
file with the correct output. When I run the same
as a cron task, it outputs a blank file.
any ideas why?
Does the file starts with #!/bin/sh so that it is recognized as a 
shell script?

Are you sure that the file is executable? "chmod a+x filename" 


I take back my attempt to help.  I re-read your post and noticed that it 
outpus to a blank file.  That means it is being recognized as a shell 
script and is executable.

Sorry.  My Bad.
