No. Your CWD can't be copied to a PATH variable. For cronjobs, assume nothing. Hard code all path names. Assume the only things in the PATH are /bin:/usr/bin, otherwise give full path names to the programs you want to run. Assume no environmental variables are set, assume you are on the most basic setup possible (because you are). On Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 04:34:49PM -0500, Software Info wrote: > I see.
