Ls -l --time-style long-iso produces your original output, but I don't
know how you're getting it set. Do you have something odd in your locale
settings?
Remember that cron does not run in your login shell, net even in a
standard system login shell. None of your environment variables get set,
and you should not depend on any of them.
One solution to your problem (though it won't track down its cause)
would be to add the --time-style long-iso to your cron ls command.

I can't reproduce this, but my guess is that some ls option is being set
in /etc/profile. The cron jobs don't source /etc/profile. You could
source /etc/profile in your cron job with ". /etc/profile" and see if
that makes it work.

Subject: cron oddity?
I've written a rexx program to run under cron to do clean up on a
directory. It runs fine when I run it myself, but it fails under cron.
Trace output from the cron run job shows
"sudo ls -lGgh /srv/ftp/pub"
"-r--r--r-- 1 14M Nov 7 16:02 GE_Mainline_Ansys ver2.ppt"
HUH? when I do it manually the output is
"sudo ls -lGgh /srv/ftp/pub"
"-r--r--r-- 1 14M 2006-11-07 16:02 GE_Mainline_Ansys ver2.ppt"
If I manually do an ls command I get the format with the date as
yyyy-mm-dd. Why would the ls command under cron get a date format of
Month Day?
Very confused....
