Replying to myself again - probably bad etiquette..
[root@nunsuch sbin]# cat /etc/cron.d/swatch.cron
# swatch is the system watcher
*/15 * * * * root /usr/sbin/swatch.sh
[root@nunsuch sbin]# cat /usr/sbin/swatch.sh
#!/bin/bash
export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LINGUAS="en_US ja da_DK de_DE"
/usr/sbin/swatch -c /etc/swatch.conf
Does fix it, but it's more than a little hacky. Perhaps someone with a bit more
experience with using environment variables with Perl might be able to provide
a real solution..
