The "actual problem" I have is that I want cron(8) in a jail to execute
any tasks with an artificially-set UNAME_r environment variable by
default.  (We set this environment variable in login.conf, but that only
affects processes where login(1) is involved; cron-spawned tasks don't
qualify.)

That's fine; I hadn't tried it: I merely looked at the script,
thought it odd, and asked a question: Is that intentional?

I gather from your response that the answer is "yes." :-}

(I did try augmenting the rc.d/cron script with

export UNAME_r=3D7.1-RELEASE

immediately prior to the run_rc_command invocation; that did not appear
to do what I rather had hoped it would.)

Peace,
