I am running this with "xmp" user.

so adding . /etc/profile will solve this?

Well I added the mentioned line, but

it is working when i run the script manually, but not when it is through cron.

In cron, the login, or both?

In what way is it "not working"? How do you know it's being run at all? Does it print any errors?

Try putting this below the shebang:
Code:
exec 2> /tmp/error.log

so that error messages get put into that file for you to read, instead of being given to cron which may or may not mail them to you.

If that file is not created, then I suspect the cron entry simply isn't being run at all.
