Chris,

Your crontab(1) entries look OK. The ldmadmin(1) script should set the PATH
environment variable correctly so that the relevant registry utility
(regutil(1)) is found. This utility is, apparently, exiting with a failure
status.

Is there anything from the reguti(1) utility in the LDM log file around the
time the crontab(1) entries are executed?
