BanditRider, I tried your suggestions and it didn't work. Tried some other things and still no good.

Gnuite, I'm a noob so when you say "try using an absolute pathname" I'm not sure what this means

As for permissions I set chmod 755 on the command and then chmod +x , won't this work?

I also added the command to /etc/sudoers and this didn't work.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks
