[TDK] Wrapped Starkit not working with cron

[TDK] ANNOUNCE: Tcl Dev Kit 4.0 Beta 1 now available | Re: [TDK] Wrapped Starkit not working with cron
Hi,
I have a starkit that I've created with TclApp and everything seems to work fine accept when
 I run the script from cron.  It appears the system can't find a file (my basekit).  Here is
 the mail message that the system mails to me when the script is run from cron:

Message 19:
From asilver@[...].localdomain  Fri Sep 22 02:30:02 2006
Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 02:30:01 -0400
From: root@[...].localdomain (Cron Daemon)
To: asilver@[...].localdomain
Subject: Cron <asilver@apollo>  /home/asilver/net-scripts/acme/acme_config_bkups.sh
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> 
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/asilver> 
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> 
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=asilver> 
X-Cron-Env: <USER=asilver> 

/usr/local/net-sense/bin/copy_to_tftp: line 3: exec: net-sense_base_lintcl: not found

Here is the first few lines of the starkit "copy_to_tftp".

#!/bin/sh
# exec net-sense_base_lintcl "$0" ${1+"$@"}
##
package require starkit
starkit::header mk4 -readonly


It appears my PATH variable in Cron is different than my PATH variable when I'm in the shell
.  The base-kit "net-sense_base_lintcl" is in my path when in the Bash Shell but not in cron
.  If I'm not mistaken, I believe I can set the Cron Path in Linux but I'm not sure if I can
 do that in Solaris.  Is there another way to resolve this issue?
Thanks
