[GRLUG] crontab not running a working script

[scott.tanner at comcast.net]

So its using your account and home dir.  Path is pretty limited, but I'm not sure that would cause the password issue.

 -  Are the permissions on the .something config file set to allow read access to jtr?  

 -  Can you add the --print-configs and/or --print-servers options to syncevolution?

Great idea! 

HOME=/home/jtr 
LOGNAME=jtr 
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 
SHELL=/bin/sh 
PWD=/home/jtr

I can run it from any dir.
