Cron jobs run with an extremely minimal environment. Practically, this
means that there's no PATH set up, so you either need to add in the
necessary directories in a PATH=... line at the top of your script ( which
also needs #!/bin/bash or equivalent as it's first line ), or all
applications are called using their absolute path. I normally use the
latter, but I really don't know why - it makes scripts a lot more
difficult to port!
