As mentioned in my original question, I have written a perl script that does a number of things (in perl), however, some of the things it does is calls out to some third-party shell scripts (mkvdts2ac3) which also calls another third-party script (mvkmerge) to do various things. When calling these other scripts is where the path seems to get lost if calling through cron. I've tried specifying in cron, in the scripts themselves, but since these are third party scripts, I was hoping to not to have to modify them directly. It sounds like that's probably my only option at this point.

I just wanted to see how other have gotten around similar situations.

Thanks
