When logged in as root if I type "env" there are a bunch of environment settings including one for CLASSPATH. However, I ran a cron script that ran this command "env > cronEnv". I noticed that the environment variables were entirely different inside the script. There wasn't even a CLASSPATH defined. Can any explain to me why that is? It's weird that the user root vs a cron script ran under user root would have different paths. Can anyone explain how to rectify this situation? It's a bash shell in linux by the way.
