I have written a simple script to release address from the VPN Pool NAT on a
nokia box :-

#!/bin/sh
echo about to clear >> /var/log/ClearVPNLog
/opt/CPfw1-50-02/bin/fw tab -t fwx_ip_lookup_tab -t fwx_cntl_dyn_tab -s  >>
/var/log/ClearVPNLog
echo cleared >> /var/log/ClearVPNLog
date >> /var/log/ClearVPNLog

When I run this from the command line it works as expected and I see all the
addresses in the Pool released. However when I try and run it from crontab
it runs all the commands except the fw one which is the useful one.

I am not a Unix admin but have used these scripts before to check on the
number of maiuls in the spool directory,

Help  !!!


thanks
