Hello.
I have created a perl script that must run every so often.
The Mail I get is "/bin/sh couldn't run perl-script"
The cron seems to run everything with /bin/sh
I simply changed my rather simple script to accomodate this.

I have some "heavy-duty" perl scripts that will be cron'd quite soon
(today/tomorrow)

Will changing the following in /etc/crontab work?

SHELL=/bin/sh

to: SHELL=/bin/bash

or will my cron'd perl scripts still not work?
