Log parsing script

Hello, I have a script that parses logs and sends the output via digitally signed and encrypted email. This script uses grep -v to exclude patterns in a file. The problem I have is if this is run via cron none of the pattern matching seems to occur. If I run it by hand it runs exactly as it is designed.

This leads me to believe it is not a scripting issue, but I'm stuck on what it could be. There aren't any errors generated, it just doesn;t seem to pull in the regex files.

It could be a locale problem, is LANG setup in your cron script?

Good question, it is not explicitly set - but it is not explicitly set in my shell either. I'll set that and see how it goes, thanks for the tip.
