Hello,
thanks for your response. I've tried your command line but with no success.
When i simply do this:

* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/crontst

the file crontst is created and i see each time the prog was executed in
different line.
But it's the only thing i can do!! When i run another simple program. It works
well only when i execute it by
hand, and it does nothing with cron!!

If you have more ideas, it will help me.

Jean-Michel
