Description
I have added a cronjob on my ubuntu server
`* * * * * togeojson file.kml > file.geojson
`
But it does not seem to work with the cronjob.
I even tried adding the togeojson command into a shell file and run the shell file as a cronjob. It still fails. If I run it manually it works very well.
Any idea how to make togeojson work as expected when run by a cronjob ?
