[Opensource] Just one small Question?

[Jeff Johnson]

I hope this address gets out to everyone...I have a simple question I 
think....I have a linux shell script (crontab) that I am trying to use 
to call a java application.  It seems to work ok, but I can't seem to 
start the application with the shell script.  when I try to start the 
app with "java appname"  I get the message "file not found"  Can anyone 
tell me what is going on?  I have researched google from one end to the 
other and can't seem to find an answer...thanks...jeff
