> > What's the user-shell of your LDM user? bash(1)? tcsh(1)? > > csh In that case the "bash -l" in the crontab(1) entry won't accomplish anything because there's likely no bash(1) profile-files to source. Entries like this should work: 0 1 * * * bin/ldmadmin scour >/dev/null because the sh(1) process will be executing in the home-directory of the LDM user.
