sendmail not working from script

I have a small script like this
========
#This script is used for checking the console connectivity to the following servers.

exgld180c=155.248.115.106
exgld178c=155.248.115.177
exgld179c=155.248.115.178

for i in $exgld180c $exgld178c $exgld179c
do
if ping ${i} -c 2 -w 15 >/dev/null
then
echo "Console IP still available for ${i} at `date`">>/opt/local/unix/logs/exgld_console_ipcheck.log
else
echo "Console IP NOT available now for ${i} at `date`">>/opt/local/unix/logs/exgld_console_ipcheck.log
echo "Console IP NOT available now for ${i}" |sendmail t.kumar@alcoa.com gidunixsupport@alcoa.com
fi
done
=====

I get the sendmail notification if i run that script manually. But i am not receiving alert while scheduled through cron.

So far restarted the sendmail ; also added #!/bin/bash and #!/bin/ksh at the begining of the script and no change. Any suggetions

Even if your script hash the shell defined, the PATH environment variables are not. Use the absolute path for all commands in your script, specially /usr/sbin/sendmail.
