I have a script that I call via Cron. It wont work unless I include a path: #!/usr/local/bin/bash PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin" export $PATH which is fine and works. Out of curiosity though, why is it that if I call it from the cl like ./test.sh I get this error: ./test.sh: line 3: export: `/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin': not a valid identifier The script still works but it does drop that error. What does it mean? Thanks.
