Drove myself nuts trying to figure out why my script ran fine from a 
console and died under cron.

Find is part of w2k,  cron doesn't seem to have a path unless I tell 
it to.  I got the following:

FIND: Invalid switch
FIND: Parameter format not correct

I should have directly specified path to find or put a path in my 
script.

Oh well, just wanted it out there for others that stubbed their foot 
on this.  I don't want to say how long it took for me to figure this 
out. 

Wes
