Check that $PATH presented by cron contains the directory of each binary
that you call (and is called on your behalf). An easy way of verifying that
is to insert the cron job:
some_minute * * * * echo $PATH | mail -s PATH <you>
(you will receive 1 email per hour from this)
Copy what you get, and use it like so:
PATH='<paste here>' <that tk command>
If it fails, it's the PATH. Get around it by using absolute paths, or
prepending "PATH=$PATH:<what it lacks>" or prepend the whole PATH from a
shell session.
