I had the same problem. I solve it by calling a script from cron that executes the line you are actually truying to call from cron. As far as I understand the cron does not goes well with variables in the command line. Please correct me if I am wrong. best regards -----Mensaje original----- De: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[email protected]]En nombre de Joseph J.

Am I setting up the cron job incorrectly? Or should I be using a different way to switch out the logs? Thank you in advance for your help.
