Yep (ntsec;).


script1.pl:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
$cmd = "perl /path/script2.pl";
system $cmd;
1;

script2.pl:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
print "I'm script two.\n"
1;

crontab -e:
MAILTO=your AT address DOT here
1 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /path/script1.pl

Put both scripts in /path no mounts are involved.
The mail from Cron:
Can't open perl script "/path/script2.pl": No such file or directory

It seems to be the problem that I didn't used an absolute path to perl
in script1.pl.
It works ok. if I change it to /usr/bin/perl.
It seems that Cron is running the wrong perl.  I need to fix my path.


Thanks for your help,

Gerrit
