  • How are you setting these cron jobs up? Using crontab -e as a user or are you adding them to your system's /etc/cron* directories and/or files? Commented Jan 7, 2014 at 10:21

    OK, so the cron jobs you're setting up are running as your userid, so the only thing you have to deal with is a difference in environments when running the script vs. running it in a cron. I believe you can also do this to get a Bash environment up and running via your crontab. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/94456/… Commented Jan 7, 2014 at 15:15
