    It goes to e-mail to the person running the script. We do have problems
    with this with process accounts that no one logs into. The mail will grow
    until it fills the file system.

I've seen problems with crontab script execution, with output alot. Does
this command produce output? 
If so where does it go? 
Thanks.

There also may be a problem if you do not specify the shell at the
start of the script.  I have had problems (on Solaris) if the top line
of the script is not
    #!/bin/sh   (or whatever shell language is used in the script)
especially if one script is invoking another script.
