Setting environment variables within cron jobs!!

UNIX Solaris

Is it possible to use environment variables within cron jobs. I am using a cron job to run a c program at regular intervals. The C program uses a library and i have set the library path in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. But when i ran the job i got the error library not found!! Any suggestions!!

You need to create a script that sets the variable and runs your program, like:

* * * * * /usr/local/bin/myscript

cat myscript

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/library/path
/usr/local/bin/myCprogram
