Set your environment variables in your .profile file
in your home directory, or edit /etc/profile.
Remember that a script will run under the current env.
of the shell calling it...something I've run into with
crontab files not getting the expected env. variables.
I also am not 100% sure about the specifics of
mandrake, but these are two very very common places to
set env. variables. Good luck!
