It occurs to me that there are three ways to do this. 
One is to use an absolute path... 

Another is to declare the $PATH within the script

The other is to declare the path within the cron environment.
(This last is my preferred - I have at least one script which checks for
$INSIDECRON=true to determine how it should act. Also good for procmail
sorting that one has been :)
