Hello,

I have a bash script executed from cronie's anacron daemon which performs a local rsync backup and then emails the status via nullmailer . The latter part never worked until I understood that some nullmailer-inject options that I set via environment variables are not visible from the bash script when spawned by anacron (all was fine from an interactive shell). Adding a 'source /etc/profile.env' to the bash script solved the issue.

Are there any contraindication to sourcing the whole profile.env from a non-interactive shell? Potential security issues?

thanks,

raffaele
