Cron not working on client

[J-C-P]

Hello,

I installed the client on several servers, following the same procedure.
Only ONE of them is reporting correctly to the server (via cron).
All of them are reporting when running patchman-client manually.

Strangely, the only one that works is runnning Ubuntu. The others are running Debian 12 or 13.

All crontab are root. Crontab line looks like "0 7 * * * patchman-client"

Any idea or recommandation ?

Thanks :-)

I found my mistake...
It looks like cron doesn't use the path variable. We need to enter the full path of the command.

My cron looks like this now (and it works)
0 7 * * * /usr/sbin/patchman-client

For future reference, the "patchman -a" cron didn't work iether.
The correct cron entry (under Debian 12) is
0 * * * * /usr/bin/patchman -a
to run it every hour.
