I forgot to note that the directory I am writing into is a shared
directory on a different machine which only my windows XP user has
privileges to write into. But my uid and gid matches when I run
interactively and in batch, so I'm confused. Is there anything else it
is restricting?
thanks,

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
