Hey, I figured this bug out.

sql/example_types.sql contains this line for example

INSERT INTO p_types VALUES ('JPG','jpeginfo -c',0,'','jpegoptim','jpg');

I found that ptest was calling jpeginfo by the command line

"jpeginfo -c /pathtofile > tmpfile" 2>dev/null

It was after I removed the 2>/dev/null that I saw the error
"command not found"

Then I realized that in crontab, at least in my crontab, the full path to an executable must be used in a command or else it won't find it. Crontab is a limited environment
and doesn't know what the paths to executables are unless you tell it.


Since ptest couldn't read anything from the tmpfile it assumed the file tested bad and marked it as such.

Changing sql/example_types.sql to the following made ptest run ok from crontab

INSERT INTO p_types VALUES ('JPG','/usr/local/bin/jpeginfo -c',0,'','/usr/local/bin/jpegoptim','jpg');


Thanks Again

Boz
