issues with purge via varnishadm ran by crontab

[thebog]

Hi,

if you do not see it in the list. Then there is a big possibility that
the script never makes it into varnishadm. So I think it's safe to say
that the problem is in the script somehow, and not varnish.
Not that I am gonna debug your script, but take things into account
that cron is often run by /bin/sh which may have different env
variables than your normal shell (And therefore maybe a different
PATH).

Type /bin/sh and work from there.
