This overcomes the issue of cron jobs not reading /etc/profile and other start-up scripts that are processed by a normal login shell. For example, here is my personal crontab: # Establish environment variables. JAVA_HOME='/etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm' PATH="/home/dwn/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm/bin:/etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm/jre/bin" TMPDIR='/tmp' HOME='/home/dwn' SHELL='/bin/zsh' LOGNAME='dwn' LC_ALL='en_GB.UTF-8' http_proxy='http://webproxy.local:8080' ftp_proxy='http://webproxy.local:8080' RSYNC_PROXY='webproxy.local:8080' CC='gcc' CXX='g++' # Set our priority level. !nice(4) # Each morning run a scan of our home directory for backup files. %daily 30 20 find "$HOME/" \( -name \*~ -o -iname \*.bak \) -print - -delete # Clean out the work directory for Lazarus. %daily 18 05 cd "$HOME/Lazarus_projects/tmp/" && for fn in *(N); do rm - -rf "$fn"; done # Clean out the cache subdirectories under $HOME. %daily 28 07 cache_clean.zsh As you can see, it establishes all the most common environment variables before any cron job starts. - -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== dwnoon@xxxxxxxxxxxx (David W Noon) ====================================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkzFZ7QACgkQRQ2Fs59Psv/JBwCeKRUID/cE4roMbduG2I345evk hiwAn3ohd2+2FxkVEwkeVuV/Q6eJpixd =w68f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
