Bug ID: 213742
Summary: /etc/crontab $PATH modification
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: ben.rub...@gmail.com
Hello,
crontab(5) :
Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron(8) daemon.
SHELL is set to /bin/sh, PATH is set to
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin,
and LOGNAME and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the crontab's owner.
/etc/crontab :
PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
I then think that /etc/crontab should set :
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
(I also think that /etc is no more needed in $PATH since this commit :
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/77f8fc2dc8a4b898c69e145ecb5c0e72aab05968)
It would be more coherent, and also more convenient, without being more risky.
Thank you very much !
Ben
