Hi,

Please point me to what I missed. I have a simple cron job doing backups using tar and find. Works flawlessly in an interactive shell. Cron also works fine for fetching mail, etc. The combination doesn't work. 

When I run my bash (tcsh also fails) script via Cron the wrong find is found. Instead of /usr/bin/find I get the windows version. My /etc/profile does prepend the directories, the permissions seen accurate - as per the other fixes that were in the archives. 

What did I miss? 

-Al

--- Test script ---
#!/usr/bin/bash

date

echo $PATH # reports only windows paths, no Cygwin
which find # Finds the win32 version
