Here is the new test script:

#!/bin/sh

echo started >> /tmp/stan
/usr/bin/perl --version >> /tmp/stan
echo "++++++" >> /tmp/stan
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/cricket/cricket/collect-subtrees.pl normal >>
/tmp/stan
echo "++++++" >> /tmp/stan
echo done >> /tmp/stan

And, here is tthe outptu file:

pnoc# cat /tmp/stan
started

When I su - to cricket. and run the collector, it takes a minute or so to
run, and generates a lot of output to the screen. 

Also, wgen I do that, it's Cricket's logfile gets updated. Run from cron
the logfile never changes.
