I have a PHP cli script, that backups my databases, using mysqldump  
via system(). 
 
When logged in with SSH, and launching the script with "./backup.php",  
all works just as it should, but when I put it in a crontab: 
 
00 2 * * * /home/sandman/bin/backup.php 
 
I get a mail that says: 
 
"mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server  
through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) when trying to  
connect" 
 
How come? Anyone knows what the difference is between CLI and crontab  
that could cause this?
