[PLUG] rsync in a cron job

[Smith, Cathy]

Take a look at the man page from cron.  When a job executes from cron, you don't even get your default path.  You have to set the variables, including your path in your script.  Or you have to specify the full path in the command syntax that is executed.

Larry,

   Would this affect synchronizing files in ~/ on both hosts?

Thanks,
