My script to stop restart my apache and mysql service doesn't work when started by a cron job

I created the following script to stop apache and mysql and then restart them. When started manually it works fine, however when executed from a daily cron job I can see the logs, but the database is NOT restarted. Any idea why?

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

service apache2 stop
echo $(date ) "Apache stopped"
sleep  15
service mysql stop
echo $(date ) "Mysql stopped"
sleep 60
service mysql start
echo $(date ) "Mysql started"
sleep 5
service apache2 start
echo $(date ) "Apache started"

Try changing service mysql with /etc/init.d/mysql.

Similarly, try using /etc/init.d/apache2 instead of service apache2.

Also, try with #!/bin/bash shebang.
