  That's a strange one.

  What happens if you run this as a cron-job:

  #!/bin/sh
  mkdir /tmp/cron.$$
  moun -t proc proc /tmp/cron.$$

  I guess the cron environment is different from the interactive one,
 google will find lots of posts about that.  I guess you just need to
 determine which differences are important.  Try dumping the environment
 in both cases, via env, and seeing how they differ?
