Still struggling with this.
There are many differences between the loggedin and fromcron files.
At this stage I am willing to try anything so how do I make the
environment created from cron have these missing "variables" if I am
running a Perl script from cron?
It appears that in loggedin mode I am using bash but in cron mode it
uses sh does that matter?
Is it possible to mimic what is happening when the Perl script is
running from cron so I can see the error messages being
produced/returned from mplayer etc?
TIA
