* Update crontab(5) manpage to match new behaviour (LP: #1938924) -- Graham Inggs <gin...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 06 Aug 2021 10:59:44 +0000 ** Changed in: cron (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cron in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938924 Title: Update crontab(5) manpage to match new behaviour Status in cron package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: From LP: #1779767 comment 13: In crontab(5) in cron 3.0pl1-136ubuntu2 the manpage is now wrong. It says: > Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron(8) daemon. > […] PATH is set to "/usr/bin:/bin". HOME, SHELL, and PATH may be overridden > by settings in the crontab […] and also > On the Debian GNU/Linux system, cron supports the pam_env module, and loads > the environment specified by /etc/environment and /etc/security/pam_env.conf. > It also reads locale information from /etc/default/locale. However, the PAM > settings do NOT override the settings described above nor any settings in the > crontab file itself. Note in particular that if you want a PATH other than > "/usr/bin:/bin", you will need to set it in the crontab file. These should be fixed I think. There might be other spots that I didn't notice yet too.
