Ah, I thought it was an /etc/crontab type of situation.
So it sounds like what you were already thinking of doing was writing a
little script that exports that envar and then execs /usr/sbin/cron.
That should do it for you. Then you just change cron_program to point to
your script in /etc/rc.con[.local]. Sorry if I'm being painfully
obvious, just want to make sure we close the loop.
