Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-11 15:35:48 UTC 
using vcron, the path for cron jobs executed from /etc/crontab or any of the
/etc/cron.{hourly|daily...} folders is:

X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>

we should add to the top of the default vcron /etc/crontab:

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
