Hi there, not sure exactly what your problem is yet, but a common error when running from crontab is that you don't give the full file path. In this case the file is sent to Sendmail from another place, so take a look at where it is coming from.
Another thing that might help you is if you type "mail" in unix. This should give you a numbered list of all the cronjobs, for example:

 U 44 [e-mail]  Sun Oct 30 12:14  29/1454  "Cron <guyn@il-
+kblwe02> /bin/tcsh -c 'source /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/guyn/home/.csh
+"
 U 45 [e-mail]  Sun Oct 30 12:27  29/1454  "Cron <guyn@il-
+kblwe02> /bin/tcsh -c 'source /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/guyn/home/.csh
+"
>N 46 [e-mail]  Mon Oct 31 12:27  35/1699  "Cron <guyn@il-
+kblwe02> /bin/tcsh -c 'source /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/guyn/home/.csh
+"
 N 47 [e-mail]  Tue Nov  1 12:27  35/1696  "Cron <guyn@il-
+kblwe02> /bin/tcsh -c 'source /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx4_1/guyn/home/.csh
+"

By typing the number of the cron job you can get details about it which will help you debug
Good luck!!

Actually I am calling a perl program only from the crontab. In that program I have another perl program which will send the mail, for that mail sending program I am giving the full path of the file to be attached with the mail. I am executing the mail sending program using the qx($Cmd).

Hi, can you maybe print a small standalone program that recreates your bug? It will make it much easier to understand what might be the problem
