Hi,
I've got a Script that is suppose to run every day:
The script works, when I login as root and run it manually!
# /etc/crontab - root's crontab for FreeBSD
#
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/crontab,v 1.21.2.3 2000/12/08
#
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
HOME=/var/log
#
#minute hour    mday    month   wday    who     command
#
30      7       *       *       *       root    /MIRRORS/mirror.sh
BUT, it can't find the command: rsync

	Mirroring Exim Site...
	rsync: not found
	Mirroring Apache Site...
	rsync: not found
	BUT, the rsync command do exist in the path:
	PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
I copied the rsync command to /usr/sbin, but still no luck.
The original location is: /usr/local/bin:
	pwd
	/usr/local/bin
	ll rsy*
	-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  528616 May 17 15:24 rsync
Why can't CRON not find the command?
I also tried adding the above location to the CRONTAB path, but that didn't
work either.
I'm sure I'm missing something small.
Any assistance would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Schalk
