Gilbert, Assuming the LDM user uses the bash(1) shell, try changing the crontab(1) entry to 4 1 * * * bash -l -c 'ldmadmin newlog' This should result in an environment that's closer to executing "ldmadmin newlog" from the command-line. If the LDM user's shell isn't bash(1), then modify the crontab(1) entry as appropriate. > # Rotate LDM log files > # > 4 1 * * * /home/ldm/bin/ldmadmin newlog Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KFV-888578 Department: Support LDM Priority: High Status: Closed
