The issue is a path one, I had not set a PATH statement so added 

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/avon/ba
ts

This at least got the first line of my script running when started by CRON so
that's progress.

Can't see a bash_profile in my home dir, did see a /etc/profile file... but
if the PATH I set above works will that do?

Fingers crossed.
