Well, I managed to fix this.
What I did was to set up an "at" job for the future (which worked)
and then look at all the environment variables for the at job. Then, one
by one I tried them in my script until it worked from cron.
The line that did it was:
${SHELL:-/bin/sh} << `(dd if=/dev/urandom count=200 bs=12>/dev/null|LC_ALL=C tr -d -c '[:alnum:]')`
I have no idea what it does (if anyone would care to explain it to me I
would be interested) but all I know is it works!
Thanks to all...
Mark
