I always add my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to the zopectl and runzope scripts so that this kind of thing never happens. I have also found that I needed to add ORACLE_HOME to either the zope.conf or zope start scripts when using DCOracle or some other add-on that uses loadable libs. In fact, you should put all important env vars in zope.conf under the environment variables section. This is the cleanest way to ensure zope can see everything it needs to.

We have zope installation that uses an Oracle backend to store data on. We also have the system setup to do a backup of the database and Zope Installation everyday. Everything runs smoothly until it comes time to start Zope back up.
For some reason whenever the script tries to start Zope back up, it comes up but with a broken ZOracleDA product. It complains about not being able to find the library file called libclntsh.so.9.0.
If I try to start Zope myself from command line right after the script is done running (actually stop it then start it again) it works and connects to Oracle fine.
I've tried using "nice" to up the priority level but it doesn't seem to work. I also thought that maybe I wasn't giving oracle enough time to start up so I've tried adding sleep commands to the script, again, with no luck.
If anyone has any experience in this field or has any suggestions, please let me know. This is a quite annoying situation, as this server is quite important to the company and downtime is a bad thing.
Most likely 'libclntsh.so' is on an LD_LIBRARY_PATH for your user, which the cron user does not have.
Why are you stopping Zope, BTW? The standard backup script for the ZODB filestorage is 'repozo.py', which does not need to have exclusive access in order to create a backup.
