Found a solution:

in /etc/rc.local file:
Code:
export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=/home/ubuntu/pk.pem
export EC2_CERT=/home/ubuntu/cert.pem
export EC2_HOME=/usr/bin

I also placed the calling for the script with the redirecting the stderr in /etc/rc.local:

Code:
/home/ubuntu/tt.sh >> /home/ubuntu/myLog 2>&1

Users who desire to have their .profile executed must explicitly do so in the crontab entry. Why?

The .profile file should be read when the user logs in. So, there should be no need to execute .profile file again in a cron job (since the cron job is run after the user logs in). Doesn't the cron require login from the user. Then, from where does the cron execute? Please help!! (1 Reply)
