Chris, I'm glad it worked. Cron(8) executes commands using an sh(1) process that doesn't source your profile files. The "bash -l" causes the command to be executed by a bash(1) process that does source your profile files (~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile). You have something in your profile files that's necessary. > That did the trick. Not sure I understand why, but all is well. Thanks.
