That's what I figured, and is no good for this particular ext script that

I've had a lot of success running Big Brother scripts from cron. I
now have a Hobbit server running for the display, but I haven't made
time to switch the scripts to the Hobbit environment.
I think you'd just need to:
source /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
at the top of the script, assuming it's sh-compatible...
Please don't do that. As hobbitserver.cfg says:
# NB : Even though it might look like a shell-script, it is NOT.
If you want to run scripts with the Hobbit environment set, use the
"bbcmd" utility. E.g. if your script is /usr/local/bin/myfancytest
then run it with
bbcmd /usr/local/bin/myfancytest
