Ah, no, I’ve never touched /etc/crontab. I use sudo crontab -e to edit the user-level crontab for root. I consider /etc/crontab the system level crontab for root and I don’t touch that one. The PATH in /etc/crontab is not the PATH that was returned above, so it doesn’t look like the path in /etc/crontab carries forward to the other user crontabs. Setting the path explicitly a the top of the root user’s crontab worked. On Feb 5, 2015, at 7:03 AM, Benny Pedersen <m...@junc.eu> wrote: > Kevin A.

At least I think that gig comes from gnupg1-1.4.18_2.

As stupid. # PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:bin whichgpg && whichgpg /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:bin /usr/local/bin/gpg /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin/:/sw/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin/gpg So, yes, the variable setting does NOT get carried through to the second command as you said. -- On 30 Jul 2013, Wietse Venema wrote: >Think 100MHz Pentium, 33k6 analog modem. Even I have stopped using that.
