That's a cron thing. Cron has a very limited environment by default. Either use full paths or add the needed environment to scripts being run from cron.

Use a full path to scp. On my slackware box it is /usr/bin/scp.

When I run hpt from cron I start it with /usr/local/bin/hpt. hpt doesn't need an environment because it has the full path to zip and unzip in it's config.
