Fwconsole restart from cron fails

General Help

Hi,
Running the script as: ./fwconsole_restart.sh works perfectly

Running the same script from root crontab with perms 755 to run fwconsole restart fails with (and the results are the same with either no #!/bin/bash or adding #!/bin/bash to the top of the script)

/usr/bin/env: pidof: No such file or directory
Asterisk not currently running
Running FreePBX shutdown...


/usr/bin/env: pidof: No such file or directory
Running FreePBX startup...
Starting Asterisk...
[>---------------------------] < 1 sec/usr/bin/env: pidof: No such file or directory

[Exception]                                   
  Unable to connect to Asterisk. Did it start?  
                                                

restart [-i|--immediate] [--] [<args>]...

and have also tried to just add it to root crontab…

53 0 * * 0 /usr/sbin/fwconsole restart

and

55 0 * * 0 /var/lib/asterisk/bin/fwconsole restart

all do the same thing.

ssh to the server as root and run # fwconsole restart and it works exactly how it should. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

You should be adding these to the asterisk user crontab so it has proper permissions.
