This sets the environmental variable for the shell forked by cron, but doesn't change the environmental variable for evaluating the crontab time specifications. [It's probably past time for cron to be replaced with fcron or similar, but cron+anacrontab seems to work well enough for most people that it hasn't happened. fcron used to be in Debian, but got removed because it was unmaintained in Debian (and upstream at the time).] -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only.
