running a .com object from cron

[golyg]

I have cron job that attempts to run a com object and redirects the output to a log file.
When I list a directory's contents I see the log file and the .com file.

But when I run this cron job I get a "file does not exist" error...

any ideas?

thanks

how do you execute the .com? i mean in the command line.
what user has the crontab? which user is allowed to issue the .com command?

- may be you -via command line- issue the .com command with root, but the cron with another user and this user has no privilegies.

- or you have a env variable in you .profile that is not loaded with the cron job.

- or the path is not specifie in the cron job and that's why the cron can not find the command to execute.
