I'll get to the point: My system is behind a proxy at my ISP... everything I run that can use a proxy recognises http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables. (apt-get, wget, lynx, etc)
So it seems logical to only need to set this in one place, right? Where would that place be? I tried /etc/environment - and that works for my login shells (bash as root, zsh as user) ... but isn't seen from scripts run from cron. Is there any recommended way to make a an environment truly global? Is there something I've missed? .../Nemo
