为什么这个expect脚本在由cron运行时会出错？
我可以使用 root 或我自己的用户帐户运行这个 Expect 脚本，但是当我使用 cron 运行它时，我总是会收到错误。操作系统是Ubuntu 8.04。
错误邮件如下，
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:50:01 -0400
From: root@supa (Cron Daemon)
To: root@supa
Subject: Cron <root@supa> /home/myusername/bin/uploadmyip
myserver.com
can't read "env(USER)": no such variable
while executing
"puts $env(USER)"
(file "/home/myusername/bin/ftpxfer" line 8)
脚本'uploadmyip'如下，
#!/bin/bash
wget -O /dev/stdout http://checkip.dyndns.com/ 2> /dev/null > /tmp/myip.txt && /home/myusername/bin/ftpxfer && chmod 777 /tmp/myip.txt
期望脚本ftpxfer如下，
#!/usr/bin/env expect
if { [lrange $argv 0 0] == ""} {
}
set server myserver.com
puts $server
puts $env(USER)
system "echo "
system pwd
set timeout 5
spawn -noecho ftp $server
expect {
timeout {puts "ftp to $server timed out"; exit}
"Name ($server:$env(USER)):"
}
set timeout 300
send "username\r"
expect "Password:"
send "password\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "binary\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "put /tmp/myip.txt myip.txt\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "^D\r"
“sudo crontab -l”的输出
$ sudo crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command

I can run this expect script just fine using root or my own user account, however when I run it with cron, I always get an error. The OS is Ubuntu 8.04.
Error email is as follows,

答案是，在您的系统上，cron 不会设置 USER 环境变量——cron 使用非常小的环境。使用 LOGNAME 环境变量可能会更幸运。
The answer is that on your system cron doesn't set the USER environment variable -- cron uses a very minimal environment. You might have more luck using the LOGNAME environment variable.
