The user it runs as depends how you added it. Is it a specific user's
crontab? (Did you use 'crontab' command to submit it?) or did you
stick it /etc/cron.d?
Best way to fix path is to put it explicitly in the command you run as
in:
0 0 * * 1-5 sh -c 'PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin; apt-get update; apt-get
install ...'
