[basex-talk] loading basex from a cron job

I am just getting started with basex and have been attempting to load data into a basex db via a cron job. I am running the basexclient inside my job redirecting a bxs command file to the client. this works well when i run my script off the command line by fails when run via cron. i've checked the obvious stuff (relative paths, permissions etc).

Does anyone have experience loading basex via cron that could point me in the right direction. thanks
