https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238120 Bug ID: 238120 Summary: cron(8) doesn't set the HOME environment variable to users's home directory when command runs under regular user Product: Base System Version: 12.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org When crontab contains > 10 * * * * yuri env DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/local/bin/bash /path/to/some/script this script is run by cron(8) with HOME=/var/log Once the field "who" in crontab is set to some user, cron(8) should also set the "HOME" environment variable properly. HOME=/var/log looks wrong in any case. (Not sure if "root" also suffers from this problem.)
