It's a basic question I know, but the documentation states "If you schedule
a command to run when you are not logged in and you want to have commands in
your .profile run, you must explicitly do so in the crontab file. (For a
more detailed discussion of how sh can be invoked, see the sh command)."
I looked at the sh command, and i discovered that only the "login" program
can call it in a way that permits the executions of /etc/profile and
/etc/.profile
Does this mean that I have to submit a script containing . $HOME/.profile in
order to have my PATH and environment variables adjusted ?
Thanks
