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.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
