[Nottingham] Contab script error

Hello,

The PATH for programs execute through cron contains only very few
entries and won't include any of the /usr/local/ directories.
The safest bet is usually to have a line along the lines of:
SWEEP=/usr/local/bin/sweep
at the beginning of cron scripts for anything that's not in /bin and
call programs as:

$SWEEP -options
