Hi
Probably cron doesn't find the binaries. Either export all PATHes or specify absolute pathes for all files/binaries:
- /bin/echo "foo bla;" | /usr/local/bin/pdsend 3007 localhost
(I know that at least /usr/local/bin/ is not searched by default by cron).

Hi list,
I am trying to send messages to Pd from cron.
However, the following entry in my crontab...
- echo "foo bla;" | pdsend 3007 localhost
... does not seem to make it to the following Pd patch:
[netreceive 3007] | [print]
whereas running the same command manually creates printout in Pd as expected.
I also tried to encapsulate the above line into a shell script, without success. The same crontab executes other (non-Pd-related) jobs without trouble.
Anyone got a clue what daemons I am fighting here?
best, flo.H
