Great for the info. At least is one less variable to consider.

Just did.
Lots of other entries/errors that I need to check, but the one related to 
the program I am trying to get run

Jun 30 10:23:00 server05 /usr/sbin/cron[38466]: (hank) CMD
   (/usr/home/hank/bin/tozoraida.sh)
Jun 30 11:05:33 server05 crontab[38566]: (hank) LIST (hank)
Jun 30 11:11:21 server05 crontab[38595]: (hank) BEGIN EDIT (hank)
Jun 30 11:11:27 server05 crontab[38595]: (hank) END EDIT (hank)
Jun 30 13:23:00 server05 /usr/sbin/cron[38869]: (hank) CMD
  (/usr/home/hank/bin/tozoraida.sh)


The program seems like it was called from cron.

Will try that.

Thanks again for the pointers.

Next, going to see if it's something related to Postfix..
Although it would be pretty bad if a crontab would fail because of a call 
to the local smtp.
