From https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/etc-crontab-vs-etc-cron-d-vs-var-spool-cron-crontabs-853881/, I was wondering what the sentences highlighted by me mean, and why? Thanks.




scripts that are in /etc/cron.d/ don't load environment variables.



I'm assuming you added your command as root in the /etc/crontab file. If that's the fact then executing the crontab line will load the user's environment variables which don't get loaded when you put the script in /etc/cron.d.
