%ENV variables not picked up when run from crontab

[adrian1970]

Hi,

when using the predefined hash %ENV some variables are not found if the script is run from a crontab.

$HOME = $ENV{'HOME'};

works fine, but;

$user = $ENV{'USER'};

produces no result.

why is that?

thanks,
Ad

found a solution to my problem anyway, use:

$user = $ENV{'LOGNAME'};

this still works when scripts is called a crontab.
