I have a ksh script that runs the the following ping command:

		ping node_name 64 3 1>ping.rpt

When I run the script from a shell or using 'at' all works fine.  However,
I really want to run this script from cron.  Problem is, ping.rpt is created
but empty when cron runs it.  When I tried this from a IBM risc station, it
ran without a hitch. What am I missing here?
