you have to su as _you_ or have scripts that can do the tasks as root
(ie "su root << rootpass")

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
