Hmm, I agree with Anthony. I didnt test IDL when I posted earlier, but
in my experiance usually, if the script doesn't work when executed as
cronjob (but otherwise does), then the cron environment needs to be
checked. After I saw this reply, I wrote a 2 line idl program to plot
some random data every 2 minutes and gave the full path to IDL (/usr/
local/bin/idl) and it worked, but strange, in this case, it didn't
require the explicit definition of shell variable in crontab? It will
come to me, but not now, heh! Anyway, thanks.
