Hi Brad,

   we do croned exports of two databases too. you have to remember to put the ORACLE_SID in the script that you are running. or simply do a shell script call to the oracle 'profile' that sets up your oracle environment for the users. Cron will run in its own shell so you can't assume any environment variables.
