Problem solved---------------
Commercial SSH2 install into /usr/local/bin which isn't in you path when
run through crontab. Took me some digging........
As to the comments on csh scripting. Well. I've written quite a few
"heavy applications" using csh and I like the freedom of being able to
indent codelines, put in spaces in expressions etc etc. Other shells
don't allow all this, so to each his own. As long as your aware of the
limitations there is no problem.
