I have a question when I use crontab. Would you mind help me for some time! The question is: When I use crontab,it seems the "PATH "in crontab make no sense(or was not used); I always need to set the sbsolute path to get the right result. For example:when I want to echo something,I need to write the following: right: /bin/echo "hello unix" The follwing won't work: wrong: echo "hello unix" I don't know how to do?
