But as I looked back over it, I realized my central questions are still unanswered: If I do not have a PATH= statement in a particular user's crontab, what is used for a default PATH? Is the path in /etc/crontab inherited somehow? Given that the default shell is /bin/sh, are the settings in /etc/profile observed? If no PATH is established there either, what will cron use? I am trying to determine the best place to establish correct global PATH settings for all cron users so I don't have to edit each users' crontab file when file locations are updated or changed.
