"Command not Found" Errors when Sourcing my Env
I keep a good copy of my env in a file /root/.env which I import when I use cron jobs because I use them to run Expect Scripts which won't run without TERM and a few others(?). I do so as such:
set -o allexport; source /root/.env; set +o allexport
It works, however Cron also emails me the contents of the .env file as a list of Command Not Found errors:
/root/.env: line 4: 34:ln=01: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 36:mh=00:pi=40: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 33:so=01: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 35:do=01: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 35:bd=40: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 33: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 01:cd=40: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 33: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 01:or=40: command not found
/root/.env: line 4: 31: command not found
Also this one:
/root/.env: line 18: fg: no job control
How do I get it to stop trying to interpret the file's contents as commands?
Edit: Here's the .env:

Thanks to helpful comments, I was able to remove the variables I didn't need until cron stopped complaining.
command not found
Errors were silenced by removing the LS_COLORS line from my .env file. The fg: no job control error, as I understand it, was caused by these two lines:
LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s
LESSCLOSE=/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s
because the shell was interpreting %s as fg.
This is unique to my case, but it got my cron jobs working with my expect scripts, so I'm satisfied with this outcome.
