<DIV><SPAN class=644280917-08042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can someone tell me
how to create a system variable. For instance I would like to create a variable
called http_proxy that will be available for a cronjob. This requires the
variable to be available to the process when no one is logged in. Export does
not work because it disappears when you log off. editing the /etc/profile file
to include this does not work because the variable is created as an environment
variable and only exits while you're logged on. That's my dilemma. Please
help.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
