Cron Job will not run.

[Brandon Hinesley]

Okay, I exported the updated path to include "/usr/local/bin".  Still not
working though.  My script is in /usr/local/Backup/scripts/bkup-daily.
Since I'm referencing the absolute path in /etc/crontab like this:

35      13      *       *       *       root /usr/local
/Backup/scripts/bkup-daily

I don't have to export /usr/local/Backup/scripts, right?

root at server# export
PATH="/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin"

Merely adding it as an assignment is not enough for child
processes of the cron script to 'see' the value.  Make sure
you also 'export' the new PATH:

    PATH='...'
    export PATH

Then the rsync process will use the new PATH.
