    Hello,
       from the error message originator - env(1) -, I´d say there´s some
    environment variable missing at run. Crond does not execute ~/.profile
    and similars, which is normally where these variables are defined, and
    then they must be set by the shellscript itself.
      In short, mrtg is being called from "run.sh", therefore you´ll have to
    specify its path, and probably some other variables, inside this script.
    That must work.
      Or, in a better way, call it from the system´s crontab, as described
    in the cron section of the Handbook. It´s worth a look. ;)
      Good luck, :)

    P.S.: I (too) guess this is not the appropriate list to look for help on
    this subject; "freebsd-questions" should bring you better results, if
    this one fails. ;) Or else,
