Hiya,
	I need a little help please :)

right, i have made a sh file to run the command to build graphs from
squid using squid-graph as follows;

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/squid-graph/bin/squid-graph -o=/home/httpd/html/ipac
--cumulative --tcp-only --no-transfer-duration \
         < /var/log/squid/access.log

and then i have edited crontab and put

*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/squid-graph/bin/make-squid-graph

in to run that file every 5 mins, when i tail /var/log/cron it shows
that it run ok;

root (10/24-20:30:00-1740) CMD
(/usr/local/squid-graph/bin/make-squid-graph)

but it hasnt actually made the updated graphs, however but it does
update them if you run /usr/local/squid-graph/bin/make-squid-graph
manually :( so obviosuly I don’t wanna be running it manually every 5
mins, so what am I doing wrong please???

(btw this is running on smoothwall, I know a lot of you hate smoothwall,
but please help :))
