Where is the default path for cron jobs established? (And can it

Take a look at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-cron.html

and see if that answers your question.

Best regards,

Well ... it answered my question partially.  But as I looked back over
it, I realized my central questions are still unanswered:

  If I do not have a PATH= statement in a particular user's crontab,
  what is used for a default PATH?

  Is the path in /etc/crontab inherited somehow?

  Given that the default shell is /bin/sh, are the settings
  in /etc/profile observed?  If no PATH is established there either,
  what will cron use?

I am trying to determine the best place to establish correct global
PATH settings for all cron users so I don't have to edit each users'
crontab file when file locations are updated or changed.

TIA,
