Actually, the problem is the script. When you do "sh <filename>" from
a command prompt, you are explicitly telling Linux what shell to use.
For the script to work from crontab, you have to be able to type
"<filename>" (no alias for sh) to run the command from a prompt. To
make this happen, you MUST put "#!/bin/sh" as the first line of the
script.
