Actually, crontabs let you set the environment, so you can add
other directories to PATH.

: the colon character. In applescript, this is the default
: symbol for separating directories and files in partial or full
: paths, just as the / character is used in unix. 

Or just go with a pure numeric value like a Unix timestamp.
