I made a last-minute decision Sunday to run from cron rather than my /etc/rc and assumed it would work the same. My system-administrator, unix-guru is laid up in the hospital this week. :-( This is what I did to make it work: #required paths INFORMIXDIR=/informix DBPATH=/ASP/Informix export INFORMIXDIR DBPATH #my local paths IFXDIR=$INFORMIXDIR/bin ASPIFX=/ASP/bin/Informix $IFXDIR/sacego $ASPIFX/get_units Judy
