It IS a path related error.

Basically, something required to be run is not in the path.
I got this problem when I wrote a program used in startup that
uses execvp() to create a subprocess but my path didn't include
the command I wanted to run (standard mistake I often make ...
it works when I test it but then in CRON or startup it doesn't
work becuase the path is different - of course :-)

You'll need to work out what it is trying to run and add that
to the path.
