Oh no!! crazy script
Hi

Could be stupid, but I can figure out... I have a script that downloads a file from a http server ( virus definitions file ). The thing is that when I run it from the console (bash) works fine, but when I put it in the root's cron it doesn't, and it generates a core file.

example:

server:#/my/script/script.sh <----- works ok. as root

crontab -e (as root)

00 15 * * * /my/script/script.sh <----- doesn't work.

Someone ask me if the script begins with the magic number line, and in fact it does.

vi script.sh

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

If you can help me, I'll send postal from Buenos Aires, Argentina to you. ;-)
Thanks!!!

varnetload

varnetload(8)					    Tool to create reproducable network traffic 				     varnetload(8)

NAME

       varnetload - tool to create reproducable network traffic

SYNOPSIS

       varnetload [-d delay] [-t time to run] [-u url]

DESCRIPTION

       varnetload is a simple python script to create reproducable sustained network traffic.

       In  order to use it effectively, you need to have an HTTP server present in your local LAN where you can put files. Upload a large HTML (or
       any other kind of file) to the HTTP server. Use the -u option of the script to point to that URL. Play with the delay option  to  vary  the
       load put on your network.

       delay  Sets  delay between individual downloads in miliseconds. Default value is 1000. But you my find values range from 0 to 500 more use-
	      ful.

       time to run
	      Sets total run time in seconds. Default value is 60.

       url    Sets downloaded resource. Default is http://myhost.mydomain/index.html.
