This should be simple, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have a very simple script run by cron:
export [email protected]
[email protected]
echo "MAILTO is set to $MAILTO"
Cron, however, seems to not be picking up the MAILTO variable - the cron e-mails look, in part, like this:
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/deploy>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=deploy>

MAILTO is set to [email protected]
What am I missing? Why isn't cron picking up the environment variables set in the script?
