Is the problem only with the client machine you're running the rsh command
on, or the server you're trying to run soft_application on?

If it's the client, make sure /usr/bin/rsh is owned by root and setuid.

If it's the server, make sure the client is in your ~/.rhosts file on the
server.

     To keep a log of all actions taken by cron, CRONLOG=YES (by
     default) must be specified in the /etc/default/cron file.
     If CRONLOG=NO is specified, no logging is done. Keeping the
     log is a user configurable option since cron usually creates
     huge log files.

I can't think of a good reason for this.
