Run the following cronjob:
-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
set > /tmp/cron_env
-----------------------------------------
and look into /tmp/cron_env .

If the PATH variable is set properly, texmf.cnf should be found and you
don't have to set any other environment variable.
Probably your cronjob should look like:
-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/teTeX/bin
export PATH
cd /path/to/directory
dvips -o current.ps current
-----------------------------------------

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
