GCLBUG is a variable created within the Display Manager or FoxView so when
you start the shell under the
DM or FV, that shell inherits the variable as part of it's environment.  As
the variable doesn't exist
outside the DM or FV environments, it can't be inherited by shells started
outside DM or FV, like
those started by 'cron'.  Therefore, the better method is to use the "uname
..." that Kevin shows. It
will work in any environment
