     The simplest (and IMHO also most reliable) way to find out the
     environment a cronjob has is to write a cronjob which just dumps the
     environment.

       

   =====
   Lately I've been using systemd timers instead of cronjobs. They are easier
   to debug (journalctl) but require a bit more work to write. Systemd is
   available on Fedora & friends and Debian based systems, maybe more. It has
   no builtin MAILTO. I use an OnFailure stanza to send a Slack message with
   curl instead.
