    The difference is almost certainly related to the environment; interactive shells carry a whole lot of environment with them, while cronjobs have a much more minimal one that you largely need to set up by hand. Look to see what environment variables the process is using. Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 20:56
  • Remove the --quiet flags and rerun with cron. What is the output? Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 20:56
  • For sure it doesn't use any special variable, also with --quiet it doesn't help a lot because it doesn't print anything valuable. dirvish-runall is a perl script nothing special! I am not sure where should i look next. The output is something like 00:19:01 dirvish --vault test.local 00:19:01 done, nothing more nothing less. Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 21:25

    Thank you both. @TomHunt you were absolutely correct, i checked thoroughly the perl script and the system call for a binary was not using an absolute path so that was the issue. Thanks a lot! Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 21:40
