The underlying problem is that when you invoke something with cron you are
started in a Borne shell with 5 variables set. When running at the command
line your .profile has been loaded.
I am assuming ksh, in your invoking script, source your .profile
. .profile
and then proceed with whatever other set-up you need.
Changing /etc/profile mean that everyone gets your classpath.
