/etc/environment is a better place for those vars. Note  that a single koha install on the same box is not the only use case.

Then how do you make them user specific?  Or should Zebra *not* be 'user=koha' specific?

I'm in the process of comparing the Wiki page <http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu> with my own notes and am wondering if I am missing a "bigger picture" although I'm pretty sure my findings (3.8.4 on 12.04.1) are reliable.

The Wiki suggests editing  /etc/cron.d/koha  to include KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml, KOHAPATH=/usr/share/koha and PERL5LIB=$KOHAPATH/lib --- then "Alternatively you could ..." edit
/etc/bash.bashrc.local to export KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB

I have found on 3.6 and 3.8 you must (rather than "alternatively could") add the two export lines to /home/koha/.bashrc [1] -- if not the variables are lost on reboot and the cron will fail (C4 not found.)

The /etc/cron.d/koha does not need the env vars:

paul@server: cat /etc/cron.d/koha
*/1 * * * *    koha    $KOHAPATH/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -b -z &> /dev/null

My notes:

CONCLUSION:
3.8.4: cataloguing and zebra incremental cron fully functional.
To renew PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib and KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml after reboot, the 'export' must be in /home/koha/.bashrc; also /etc/cron.d/koha does not require any $ENV statements

Am I missing something?

tnx - paul

[1] I tried all combinations of env vars in /home/koha/.bashrc and /etc/bash.bashrc.local, plus env vars or not in cron. I was a little surprised that the /etc/bash.bashrc.local did *not* restore the env vars to koha after reboot. Â Could someone running Debian Squeeze let me know if this is a Ubuntu or more general *deb problem? Â Or if there is a way of forcing 'local' to recognize user=koha?
