hi guys,

i realized that the $USER variable isn't defined in cron jobs running under my user. however, e.g., $HOME is defined. is there any explanation why $USER isn't defined?

in my case the following script added to my crontab
#!/bin/sh
echo debug
echo home ${HOME}
echo user ${USER}
echo debug finished

results in
debug
home /home/vrbka
user
debug finished

i didn't any reference to these variables in cron. thanks for any hints.

regards,
