cronjob running a shell script from it

Raw

    Need to change relative paths to absolute paths
Need to replace /bin/bash to absolute reference ie. /usr/bin/bash
In the crontab -e need to add following PATH to run a script
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Add the PATH at the top of the shell script
Now set the timer, we should be good to go.
