Sure.  But cron has a different selinux context, different environment
variables, etc.  First, consider using systemd service with timer.

To find out cron environment, start with a simple env >/tmp/cron.env in
a cron script.  Compare with environment you have when running from user
context.  Check audit.log for selinux denials, or try it with selinux in
permissive mode.  Those are the two I've run into with running service
from cron - but there may be more.  Also make sure you are running as
the same user id - this is a user cron, correct?
