Problems like that are almost always due to a difference in the shell environments of your login shell and crontab. Make sure all your paths are explicit and stuff (that's a technical term, son) like that. > If anyone could please tell me of either an alternative way / or how I > can get my expect script to work through crontab, I'd greatly > apreciate it! I have a (very/embarrassingly) crude script which uses megarc (downloaded directly from LSI). It greps the output of "megarc -dispCfg -a0" for DEGRADED. If it finds that then it emails me and also touches a state file so it doesn't continue mailing me every 15 minutes (which is how often I run it). -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
