When you are logged in, open a terminal and type 'env'.
You will see all initialized variables that are set when you logged in.

In the cron environment, you have just a few variables set.
Therefore, you should set them manually and know what variables are needed 
by  the script you will run.

I dont know what is needed by your script.
Good luck.
