Foo is a script that calls external programs itself that need the mentioned options and arguments. It seems that when foo is executed, the external programs are not executed because they're not in the path. When I include the absolute paths in the script everything works fine, but that's not really satisfying. I thought * * * * * /bin/bash foo -options arg1 arg2 might do it because the path is defined somewhere in the bash config, right? But it doesn't work. Can somebody help me out?
