why is my gid different when I run my script under cron?


Hi there,

I have a script that works interactively. However when I schedule it to run with cron, I encounter permission and environment issues. I checked and even though my cron process has my user id, my group id is different. Interactively, I have a gid=10545(mkgroup-l-d), but in my cron process, my gid=513(None).

Is there something I need to set up for cron to include my group? Is there something else I need to set so cron picks up my environment variables like PATH?

thanks,

Jerome
