Try using bash as the shell to run it under. Instead of #!/bin/sh as the first line of the script try #!/bin/bash (Assuming that you have bash installed in /bin) There are still some problems with ash in regards to controlling ttys and such which still haven't been resolved. I am still having problems with shell scripts running out of cron, but those scripts run fine when I used bash.
