Actually, i dont think you can use PATH as a vaible in a crontab. I tried anyways and did not work.
i also tried this in my crontab
30 1 * * * * /usr/local/sudo "/export/home/x/restart_script"
which dont work either. 
ideas?

	`man 5 crontab` and search for PATH or use a full path of sudo
	when running.
