| 9 | Read 'man su'. I dont really understand this stuff well enough, but a |
| 10 | 'login shell', that is, one started by /bin/login, is setup with a |
| 11 | different environment to a shell that's started by su (or by, say, cron). |
| 12 | This is why a shell command or script may work for you when you're logged |
| 13 | in, but not if you run it from cron. I'm sure other's can explain it more |
| 14 | correctly and fully. |
