First off, thanks for all your responses so far!

Has anyone noticed a similar PATH issue with system Mcron jobs?  I have
to do this inside my Mcron jobs:

    (setenv "PATH"
            (string-join (list "/run/setuid-programs" (getenv "PATH")) ":"))

Otherwise, the setuid copies of my executables like 'sendmail' are not
available in Mcron jobs.

Also, while I have your attention, my fellow Mcron aficionados, please
feel free to check out this little issue. [1] There goes another
afternoon...

Kind regards
Felix
