I gave it a try, it worked !! It's kinda pathetic because in the whole 
script every single commands are called usgin the full path except this 
one. The reason why I never tought it would be a problem is because when 
i ran the command over ssh i never got a "command not found" error or 
anything like that.

Anyway, thanks a lot my friend ! :)
