This is under Ubuntu 11.10

I have a script that starts a PPTP VPN connection fetches a couple of files, then closes the connection. When I run this script from a terminal prompt it works perfectly; however, when I schedule it to run with CRON the `nmcli` commands in the script generate errors. The VPN connections are configured to be used by any user, not just my account.

Here is the relevant line of the script:

```
/usr/bin/nmcli con up id MyVPN

```

And here is the errors that generate when using it in CRON:

```

Any ideas would be appreciated!
