Oh you are right Chris, the path is not needed.

[root@ohmster ~]# pwd
/root
[root@ohmster ~]# stat --version

You my find out the PATH on cron is not the same as root's

Frap, Reading my last two posts, shows my spelling sucks worse than usual.

As a followup: You can check with

echo $PATH as root, and look at

$ grep PATH= /etc/crontab
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Then again maybe they are the same. :)
