crond likes full pathnames is my first thought. Thats likely why it works from the command line and not crond.

cron perl script won't sendmail
Any ideas why the following won't actually send email when run from cron: #!/usr/bin/perl # open(SENDMAIL,"|sendmail $recipient"); print SENDMAIL "From: WVFD EMS Dispatch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"; print SENDMAIL "To: WVFD EMT <$recipient>\n"; print SENDMAIL "Subject: Possible EMS call\n"; print SENDMAIL "\n"; print SENDMAIL "SAEMS case $case at $address for $desc.\n"; print SENDMAIL "SAEMS is sending $units units\n"; close(SENDMAIL); I'm trying to tie pager notification to a website, and it runs fine on the command line, but not from cron.
