Hi, I have the following simple test script:- ------------------------------------------------ #! /bin/sh cd /root/bin/ /usr/local/bin/wget --glob=on -N --passive-ftp ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/superdat/intel/sdat4???.exe" ------------------------------------------------ This should download the latest McAfee superdat file, ie: sdat4250.exe into the /root/bin dir. When I run this script manually, it runs fine. When I have it run via a cron job, it stalls. This is what I see in 'ps -ax' 7673 ?? I 0:00.00 cron: running job (cron) 7674 ?? Is 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c /root/bin/test.sh 7675 ?? I 0:00.00 /bin/sh /root/bin/test.sh 7676 ?? I 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/wget --glob=on -N --passive-ftp ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/sup Any idea why this might be so? I have tried using an ftp command, but the same thing happens. I have tried exporting a path that includes the /usr/local/bin and the /root/bin directories, however, that didn't help. Any ideas?
