You might be able to create the home directory for that user and the environmental variables but I've never tried. For example, for imagemagick, I need to specify the full path to /usr/bin/convert in WebDNA scripts rather than just convert as I would for myself when I'm logged in as the user. Likely it is easier to determine the server you're on and use full paths based on that information or to configure the servers identically (at least from a directory perspective. Even symlinks could work.

Do we really have to work with full paths in the shell?
