For monospace, Source Code Pro [1] (media-fonts/source-pro). For proportional, I prefer Helvetica (non-free) but among free options Liberation Sans (media-fonts/liberation-fonts).

You're asking about cron, which is the wrong question. Run a local MTA and have it relay everything through the remote SMTP server. This is 3 lines in a Postfix configuration file [1] (only 1 line if you don't require authentication). Any MTA can do this, as it is a very common setup. Then all programs (not just cron) that use the sendmail binary or relay to localhost:25 will work automatically.

Once that's done tar up your GRUB directory and extract it to /efi/grub in Mac OS. I have rEFIt installed as well so I can select EFI GRUB among other boot options (like legacy BIOS emulation mode and Mac OS). blee@supra /mnt/macos/efi $ ls grub rEFIt License.rtf rEFIt ReadMe.rtf refit tools blee@supra /mnt/macos/efi $ ls grub/grub.efi grub/grub.cfg grub/grub.cfg grub/grub.efi -- Benjamin Lee http://www.b1c1l1.com/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Here's a Bourne parameter expansion:
blee@eclipse ~ $ foo="net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.cp843034001.i386.rpm"
blee@eclipse ~ $ echo ${foo%%-[0-9]*}
net-snmp
