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


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
