Hey everyone,

Can I use a reference to an environment variable for a cron entry. I'm
trying to run a setiathome client, and I've got SETIDIR set to the place
where the client keeps the work unit it's crunching on. I've got the SETIDIR
set in /root/.bash_profile, but I'm doubting that crond will know what
$SETIDIR is. Any hints?

-Tim
