environment in cron

[surya12]

Hi

I have seen that environment(even after excuting .profile) is not available to crontab. Can you please help me?

I have put in task.sh:

/bin/ksh .profile
echo $PATH

and to my crontab:

10 * * * * task.sh

and the output gives:

/usr/bin for the echo $PATH.

Thanks in advance.
Surya

For reference.

If the script was written sh commands then it would have ran as a ksh.

set is a csh command for declaring variables.
