Is it possible to make commands in crontab run with bash instead of sh? I know you can pass commands to bash with -c, but that's annoying and I never use sh anyway.

don't really know what you're doing (not familiar with cron) but if you are running a script then adding a shebang to it should work, not sure if I am correct. – Alvin Wong Oct 11 '13 at 17:18
You should be able to set the environment variable prior to the cron job running:
SHELL=/bin/bash
5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1

.bashrcis - by definition - for interactive shells; so when started viacron,bashwill only read this file if it is an interactive shell. – umläute Oct 10 '13 at 16:03 -

BASH_ENV="/root/.bashrc". Thanks – Fluffy Oct 10 '13 at 16:12 -
