For example, here are some headers from a recent run of the maildir backup task I have scheduled twice a day: Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> $HOME/bin/backupdir $HOME/.maildir X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/ldo> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=ldo> X-Cron-Env: <USER=ldo> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
