Normally each user has a .profile in their home directory. This is the file that I think the CRON jobs do not load automatically. I have in the past created a special version of this for CRON jobs as I do not need any of the settings that are only for interactive terminal environment. So my shell scripts that I schedule look something like:

cd /home/username/cronjobs . cron_profile sas program.sas
