[Templates] problems with %ENV when using TT from cron?

[David Martin]

Thanks Andrew,

I will look into whether TT's process() is finding 'process_response.tt2' as
that is the only external file involved.

As for STDERR I am in fact receiving error messages from this cron job when
there have been errors to report.

Thank you for the advice!

David
