Solution: Source in any required environment variables prior to running a
script that contains a "su - USER -c COMMAND" via cron.
<<
All,
I have discovered that if you call "su - USER -c COMMAND_STRING" from a
script that is executed by cron, the USER environment is not loaded [as it
would be if you called su - USER from a shell].
Is this a feature or is it by design? I have got round the problem by
exporting the required variables as part of the command string parsed to "su
- USER -c COMMAND_STRING"
