1. How to run .profile to ensure cron runs script?

Hi.

I'm kind of a unix newbee so excuse please. I am trying to run a script which
runs fine at a command prompt but fails in cron. It contains some backup
software commands that fail in particular..

I realize the problem is that the cron environment is different..... What
should I do to ensure that it is the same. i.e. variables etc..... Should I
run my root profile and how do I do that?   Which shell should I specify and
how?  Thanks.. Here is the beginning of my script.... BTW I login as root.
As you can see, I do not do too much to set it up.
Thanks.  Its solarix.
