To enable something like below This is especially important for non-ASCII users to set LANG for example.

cronR::cron_add(
  command = 'echo "$FOO" >> /home/atusy/cronR.log',
  frequency = 'minutely',
  id = 'test1',
  description = 'My procest 1',
  tags = c('lab', 'xyz'),
  ask=FALSE,
  env=c(FOO="BAR")
)
Adding cronjob:
---------------

## cronR job
## id:   test1
## tags: lab, xyz
## desc: My procest 1
FOO=BAR
0-59 * * * * echo "$FOO" >> /home/atusy/cronR.log

Thanks, looks great. Can you only replace the call to paste0 to a call to paste + add an item in the inst/NEWS file. Thanks
