Hello,

in

/etc/cron.d/test

I've this:

50 15 * * * root ( date ; echo "---" ; env ; echo "---" ; set )

/tmp/test.txt

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 ...

That is the expected behaviour.

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

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

You can also set environment variables in /etc/environment. They will be read by pam module pam_env.
