Environment Variables

Sometimes a task or multiple tasks need a specific variable set, it must be added in the Environment Variables section. The cron utility uses its own environment, system wide and user specific variables are not used. Click New Variable to add a new variable definition, or Modify to change an existing variable.

• Enter the name of the variable to use. This name:
  • Must consist of letters, digits and underscore ('_') only
  • Must start with a latter
  • Should not be a reserved or commonly used system variable. See https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html for more information
• The value the variable will contain. This can be a number or string.
• Enter a brief description of the variable.
