filepro permissions on system call

[Timothy R Barr]

Make sure you have setup all the necessary environment variables in the
shell script. (PFDATA, PFPROG, etc). When running a script from your login
account, the environment of your user is available.  When running from Cron
(or scheduled tasks in Windows), those settings are not there.

When still doing unix, we created a script call set_fp_environ.sh and
launched it preceded with a dot and space during both the login processes
and the cron jobs.
The dot and space allow the environment variable changes of the sub script
to persist after that script has completed.

. /usr/local/set_fp_environ.sh
