Where is the default PATH of crontab defined?
Issue
- If I create a cron job to show the default value of PATH of crontab:
# crontab -l
* * * * * echo $PATH >> /tmp/PATH
The result is "/usr/bin:/bin".
- Where is the default PATH of crontab defined? Does crontab have any configuration file to define PATH?
