LOGNAME=user1 PATH=/usr/bin:/bin PWD=/usr/home/user1 HOME=/home/user1 USER=user1 SHELL=/bin/sh When the script is invoked/test in command line, it worked. When the script is invoked by cronjob, some part of the script failed to run because /usr/sbin/chown is not in the search PATH. It is not convenient. >How-To-Repeat: always >Fix: configure user's crontab to include PATH like /etc/crontab PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
