   A common "problem" is that cron is run with a conservative PATH env.   
   variable, so it will not find the same commands as you do when you have   
   logged in interactively, so giving full path to stuff in /usr/local or   
   placed otherwise in "strange" locations (basically anything except   
   /bin,/sbin,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin) is more or less a must for cron jobs.
