in 10.4 i had to add SHELL=/bin/bash

HOME=/var/log to my crontabs to get my scripts running.
a) You wanted the bash shell b) you wanted to specify a PATH environment variable (with some funky places) c) you wanted to define a HOME environment variable to be someplace specific None of the above are necessary but you must realize that processes
run off cron do not inherit *your* user environment, they aren't you
logged in. i believe, scripts should be placed in /usr/local
