Looks like there is a small problem still

the shell script has four lines

  cd /home/web
  perl report.pl
  kmail -s testing -msg mailtome.txt stuart_miller@shaw.ca
  dcop kmail kmail-composer#1 activateAction send_alternative

when I click on the script in a window, it works properly
when I call the script from a konsole session, it works fine
when I call the script from a crontab entry, only the first line =
executes,
      to update the report.

I had other cron jobs working, but they all ran as root with     su web  =
 as
the first line.
This is my first attempt at automated mailings
I put the username web in the 'allow' file, and that must be ok because =
I
get the first line performed.

/var/log/cron/info shows the job has run.   errors and warnings are =
empty

I tried the full path names   /usr/bin/kmail     and  /use/bin/dcop    =
but
this did not help

Any suggestions?

Stuart
