issues with purge via varnishadm ran by crontab

[Vincent Wells]

Hi Anders,

Thank you for your reply. I tried to start /bin/sh and type the varnishadm
purge command. It worked fine and I could see the purge in purge.list. I
also checked /var/log/cron and I am sure the varnishadm purge command was
executed by cron, but the purge does not appear in the purge.list. Any
ideas?
