Re: PERL DBI Error when run from CRON

Also, a simple way to get all of your typical environment in is to make your cron entry just source your profile script. If you do anything wacky or shell-specific in your profile script, then this might not work (since your crontab gets run through "sh" the system shell). Something like:

* * * * * source ~me/.bash_profile ; perl my_script.pl etc

But the approach at RE (tilly) 3: Get default login environment should work even if you do something wacky or shell-specific. You would use it like: `%ENV = (get_login_env(), %ENV);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
