cronnix not running on schedule

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a simple crontab that runs:

osascript "/path/script.scpt"

In Cronnix I can 'run' this entry and it works perfectly

For some reason it won't execute at the scheduled time.

When I check crontab -l I can see that the schedule is correct.

Any help appreciated!

I realized that cron doesn't know where to find the commands in my script.  
specifying the path solved the problem! sorry to trouble you.  feel free to 
delete this post!

I have exactly the same problem. However, I don't understand your solution -- 
how to specify the commands in the SCRIPT?

Thanks,

You need to make sure that the commands used in your shell script don't rely on 
paths you've only set in your user's PATH. The best test is to delete your PATH 
and make your script run by using full paths for your commands. Or you set the 
PATH at the start of your script to what it needs to be. (You could copy your 
user's PATH, for example.)

Hope that helps,
Sven
