CentOS 6: Environment Variables And Cronjobs …
Hello,
in
/etc/cron.d/test
I’ve this:
50 15 * * * root ( date ; echo “—” ; env ; echo “—” ; set )
and I thought I would be shown environment variables which are defined in
e.g.
/etc/profiles.d/proxy.sh or
/etc/profiles.d/proxy.csh
but this isn’t like this …
where do I have to define e.g. export http_proxy=”http://proxy.local:3128/”
in order to have it in cron jobs?
Thanks, Walter

That is the expected behaviour.
You can set the variable in the cron job itself. See, for example,
/etc/cron.d/0hourly, where several variables are set.
