Re: [PD] messages from cron to Pd

Hi list,

Thanks Fred, thanks Roman - both of your suggestions worked.

As Roman suggested, the problem was that cron does not know much about its environment, so while it seems to know /bin (where nc resides on my system, which is why Fred's suggestion worked), it does not know /usr/local/bin (where pdsend resides on my system).

Thanks a lot for your contributions!

best, flo.H

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).
