It would be my guess your crontab can not find 'postmap' because it
isn't
in environment's PATH. On FreeBSD, 'man 5 crontab' shows PATH is set to
/usr/bin and /bin. In FreeBSD, postmap lives in /usr/local/sbin if
installed via the ports tree. Therefore, the script would not be able to
find 'postmap'. However, if I were to add to the top of the crontab:
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin
the script would be able to find 'postmap'.
Otherwise, in your script, if you use an absolute path to where
'postmap'
lives, it should work.
