Bash script launched by cron on OpenBSD not working

In the pink world of Ubuntu from where I come, things are easy, and PATH variable is fully set in each context.
But in the dark world of OpenBSD, things aren't always obvious ;)

If you decide to write a bash script intended to be used as a cron task, DO NOT forget to fully qualify path of non standard commands :
e.g. zip or smbclient should be written as /usr/local/bin/zip and /usr/local/bin/smbclient.

Hope it could save time for others...

ubuntu 20.04 / netplan / change mac address and static ip

I wasn't able to set together a virtual mac address and a static IP using netplan: either the mac address didn't change, or IP was not set. I finally got the trick using a fake nic definition that matches the new virtual mac address I've set.    network:   renderer: networkd   ethernets:     ens160:       match:         macaddress: 00:0c:29:5a:69:00       macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6     ens160_2:       match:         macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6        addresses: [ 139.99.5.72/32 ]       nameservers:         addresses: [ 8.8.8.8 ]       routes:       - to: 0.0.0.0/0         via: 139.99.5.254         on-link: true     ens192:       addresses: [192.168.103.14/24]       #dhcp4: true   version: 2
