[LDM #YGA-963195]: Future LDM feature request

Gilbert,

If it works manually, then there's no reason it shouldn't work from cron(8) -- 
unless the environment is different. The "bash -l" command should source the 
LDM user's profile-file (~/.bash_profile). I note that you use csh(1), you 
might see about using that in the crontab(1) entry rather than bash(1). I've 
never done that, so you'll have to investigate, yourself.
