The environment in cron isn't the same as your interactive environment. The error tells you as much: the variable AUTOSYS is not set (and probably others.) You will have to import the required environment variables into the script you run from cron.

You can do "printenv" from your interactive ksh session and from a cron script to compare the environment.
