Resolving doesn't work with cron

scardario · 09-19-2006, 06:10 PM

Hi, I'm trying to schedule a download task with cron with the next command:

Code:

wget (InternetAdress)/OgreOde.zip

but I get this error:

Code:

Resolving (InternetAdress)... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.

The strange thing is that the same command typed from a console works fine for root and for an user.
I have the resolv.conf configured this way

Code:

nameserver 200.21.200.2
nameserver 200.21.200.79
search ethereal

what could be the problem?
thanks

Try using the full path to wget.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
/path/to/wget 192.168.3.7/file
exit
