Hm, I don't think so. Folks sometimes have issues when running in cron
jobs but it's usually due to the same reasons anybody has cron job
scripting problems -- something in your normal user environment that
you were relying on isn't in the cron environment. (Shell environment
here, not Fab's "environment" object.)

How were you setting env.hosts before?

If you could pastebin your fabfile, the full crontab file and the
output you're seeing in your logs, that might help.

Best,
Jeff
