in thread perl script in nohup running from crontab

ALSO, cron has minimal path provided by a minimal shell, so if it runs on your default shell, it may still not run in cron...

if the user installed expect or nohup in a dir that's not accessible in cron's shell, you may need to hardpath (provide the full path to every executable run in a script run in cron) them, for them to work within cron.

You may also want to look at re-setting environment variable for PATH within the script so that the system knows how to find all the executables (/usr/bin, etc.) instead of hardcoding them all in to the command.	[reply]
