Sorry should have told you that I used the full path for everything and it is still not working - is there a way of making sure the commands you use in crontab will work i.e. could I set all the env variable to null and try manually typing the command?

Hi
I have tried to get a program to work via crontab...trouble is something is going wrong and for some reason the program is not being called. I have executed the program in question via the command line so I suspect it is something to do with environment variables.
Does anyone know if either crontab produces an error log or if I can debug what it is doing?
Jobs run from crontab don't have the path set up the same as jobs run from a shell. You probably need to fully-qualify the program name.
