Sometimes people have problems with shellscripts to be run by cron. Often this seems to be some detail or other about the environment in which cron runs things. My question is: would these problems all (or mostly) disappear if the shellscript began with rlogin <this machine> and ended with logout ? This seems to provide the missing home directory etc. that people forget about when developing a script for cron use.
