A program on Linux should work identically if the environment and command line are the same. The command line can be recovered using /proc/${PID}/cmdline, and the environment from /proc/${PID}/environ . The environ file is null separated, so use the strings command rather than cat. So to run something from cron that might otherwise be run from a shell prompt ... means you might have to select certain environment variables and define them before running the program. Exactly which depends on the program. Oh, and of course, the program should have the same working directory. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/
