Cron run in a restricted environment.
Please consider using POSIX local : see

Please post the script, stating what Shell the script was designed for.
Please state what Operating System and Shell you are using.
If your /etc/profile or .profile file changes the locale please post the lines from those files which change the character set.

What do you call sort "manually" ?

if ksh you can always:
Code:
us99:/export/home/vbe $ cat sort0001                                           
A

us99:/export/home/vbe $ sort -f sort0001|tr '[A-Z] [a-z]' '[a-z] [A-Z]'
