[Buildbot-devel] CVS_RSH environment variable

[John Pye]

Hi,

I checked 'man 5 crontab' and it says that you can stick the required 
environment variables at the top of the crontab file. So just added it 
there.

Sticking it in the makefile is perhaps a better idea, since the same 
environment will be shared  by the command line usage and the cron usage.

I wonder if there's a place that environment vars can be placed so that 
they are loaded by both cron and the commandline?

Cheers
JP
