Hi
I am having some difficulty getting the cron to do firewall log
switching.
I am using NG on Linux 7.0
When I run the script from the command line it works fine, but when you
put it in the cron, then it produces errors. It complains about
“fw: error while loading shared libraries: libfw1.so: cannot open
shared object file:”
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

From the crontab I call a script to switch the logs
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.16237 installed on Fri Feb 15 18:25:44 2002)
