I wonder what user multicron-p runs under since whoami prints nothing when run by that process? I'm not familair with the concept of sourcing scripts, I'll look into that. Thanks for helping an LRP scripting rookie understand this stuff. Sounds like I shouldn't worry about $HOSTNAME not working in multicron-p. Doesn't mean something fundamental is broken which is what I was trying to discern with all of my daft questions.
