application core dumps via cron

Hey Guys,

I have an application that is set to stop and start via cron.
It stops fine but when it tries to start via a script it core dumps.
If I just execute the script it as the user it works properly.

My guess is that I am missing some environment variable that is not read when executed via cron so I'll investigate that.
To get any information out of the core file do I use dump?

Mark
