can't add a default route from cron

Hi there,
I want to add a default route from cron and it doesn't work. I can't image why. Maybe there are some cron variables or something...??!!

1. crontab -e (as root)
* * * * * route add default gw X.12.12.1

or

* * * * * /root/s1

and s1 contains the command from above.

When I run the script manually it works, but not from cron.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Use the full path for the route command in crontab, or in the script:

Code:

* * * * * /sbin/route add default gw X.12.12.1
