I've emailed a couple of members with a direct question from which this
general remark is derived.
Have just learned that a script invoked directly by cron (as in a line
within /etc/cron.d/somescript) does _not_ receive the benefit of that
users .bash_profile or /etc/profile.
Up to this point, we've had this invocation in root's crontab as su -
username -c "somescript" and I'm trying to move to /etc/cron.d.
So the question is, if this script is run such that .bash_profile has
already happened, does encountering source .bash_profile cause new
problems. Testing this right now.
