<P> Thanks Jeff,</P>
<P> I guess why I sent this out is because I was using mktclapp, with shared libriares, for y
ears and have not had a problem with cron. Only recently I'm trying to switch over to
tclapp and I noticed this problem. The basekit I created is located in the same direct
ory as the exectuable script itself. Also, I am using full path names when creating th
e cron script. Here is my cron job that has been working for years when the copy_to_tf
tp script was build with mktclapp</P>

I can research the changing the PATH varialble in cron but I'd really like to know if there
is any other way to get around this (in tcl or tcldevkit) so I don't (or my users don't) hav
e to modify the PATH variable in cron.</P>
<P> Thanks</P>

This is really a simple unix daemon question, and not really relevant to any<BR>
Tcl specifics. However, the best way to always manage cron scripts from<BR>
experience is to use fully qualified paths. There are ways to adjust the cron<BR>
PATH, but it will vary between systems.<BR>
