No! PATH only contains minimal number of directories, anything else would be insane and a free-for-all-hackers. The smart way to go about this is to run env from within a cron script, saving its output to some file. This is the cron evironment. Modify as needed. For testing, I've written a script envreload which clears the current environment, loads the one from the given file (produced by eg env), and runs the given command.
