I remember reading a post on this topic in the past -- didnt save it --

This script run fine at the command line, but doesnt play nice under cron.

Can someone enlighten me, please ?

#! /bin/ksh
hnam=`hostname`
cat /opt/local/etc/hosts | sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' | awk '{print $1"
"$2}' |
 while read x y
do
res=`ping $x`
echo "$y $res"
done

Thanks
Chris
