crontab -e multiple cronjobs

[rozzay]

Hi i am trying to do a multipe cronjob but not sure if i am doing this correctly and I don't think it is working due to the warning message I am receiving below:
=================
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string "-dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet
=================
crontab -e

I don't see where it would be a cron error, but probably is something in your script.

I ran each of the .pl script individually and it was able to process successfully. Am I missing a semi-colon or something?

Cron doesn't use any environment settings. You have to set those manually. When you login to run these manually, you are using the users environment settings you logged in with.

I suspect that you need to source whatever users environment settings (i.e. .profile, .bash_profile, etc) within your script. Then the errors "should" go away.

yep. if scripts run fine from the command line but cron doesn't run then it is 5 9s an environment problem.
