Cron job

Hi,

I would like to start and stop the vnc server on my RedHat 8.0 box via
cron executing a script.  

I created one script for starting and one script for stopping.  I have
tested both by executing from a terminal window.  I receive no errors
and can connect from a remote pc.

I added these scripts to my cron(via crontab -e).  

When the cron job executes them both fail with the message "couldn't
find 'xauth' on your PATH.

I have searched around but have not been able to find an answer to this
problem.  The only reference I can find to XAuth is setting up remote
access to my pc without using VNC.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mike
