According to "man 5 crontab" you can set environment variables in your crontab, by writing them before your cron lines.
In *ix, processes commonly inherit an environment from their parent process across fork+exec. They have the option of clearing the environment, but usually they don't. You can see the process tree with ps axf, and you can see the environment variables by using ps axfe.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
