It is always a struggle configuring a cronjob to run certain scripts; there is always a mis configuration, a PATH, an environment variable that is different from when you use it in interactive mode, etc… Do you have any tricks to avoid or minimize those issues?

    You can use crontab -e from user. That set user environment to usual state. Or you can use systems timers instead crontab.

    Or you can set all environment variables inside cron file.
