I noticed that if RegularEvents run through a cron (file tools /
cron.php), then the script runs with a constant "define ('ADMIN', 1)."
If in the adm.console start from cron is switched off, then
RegularEvents are processed on Front-end. Because of this the result
of RegularEvents may differ significantly. For example, if you want to
parse some template in the RegularEvent, then when you run via
cron.php - the template file will be matched within admin_templates,
and if on the the Front-end - in themes.

Maybe is necessary to make RegularEvents always run the same way -
either in admin or as a front-end - regardless of whether cron is
enabled or not.

This usually is not a problem, since in default In-Portal installation all regular events (agents) work fine no matter of execution method (linux cron or just a regular front-end user visit).

For websites, who have some customizations made we set cron to always run as ADMIN from command line and all works pretty well.
