Which Shell Is Run By Cron?

[pmark23]

I have a clean-up script which is run by CRON every so often. I would like to add some more features, but this requires a BASH shell.

 

Which shell is used now, and how can a BASH shell be used instead (if this is possible)?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Sorry, shell access in not allowed

I don't think you understand the question. Cron already works -- it runs a clean-up script for our Drupal-based site.

 

What shell does Cron default to?

 

I want to make the script more efficient, and to do that I need to know if it's using sh, ksh, bash, or whatever.

 

 

Cheers,

BASH is the default shell used by cron.

Thanks, that's what I assumed, but was getting some weird errors when trying to set an environment variable. Got it sorted out now (I think).

 

Cheers,
