Can you get ar_sendmail to work from the command line? If that works,
compare the differences in environment variables b/n your interactive
shell and cron''s environment. Cron is notorious for setting a very
limited path that does NOT include /usr/local/bin.
For example, on my mac I put this at the top of my crontab file:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/
X11/bin:/Library/PostgreSQL8/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/local/lsws/
bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/Users/philip/bin
Is it necessary? Honestly I don''t remember... osx may grab things
from the central location, but I''m in such a habit of doing it I just
always add it.
Good luck!
