## Symptoms

- The user sees this error message from the command that is run by a shell script via a cron job:

"`command_name: error while loading shared libraries: libcplic_cntrct.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"`

Example:

Bash shell script should run the `fwm load Policy_Name Gateway_Name 2>&1 logfile.txt` command via cron job.

This error appears in the output `logfile.txt`:

"`/opt/CPsuite-R75.40VS/fw1/bin/fwm: error while loading shared libraries: libcplic_cntrct.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`"

## Cause

The command relies on Check Point environment variables which were not loaded by the Bash script.
