Then call a script instead. `#!/bin/ksh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH cd /dir/where/you/want/to/start exec commandtorun param1 param2 ...` [download] Update: Added exec - saves one process in the process table. and call it from your crontab instead of the command you are calling right now. You can also do on the crontab line `0 0 * * * LD_LIBRARY_PATH=foobar commandtorun param1 param2` [download] Also make certain that you have your CWD properly accounted for from cron. I will often do a `cd /dir/to/run/from && command...` as part of my cron line. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l] [select]
