Hello all, I have the following simple procedure which works fine for the 15 other
identical servers for not for this new server that I obtained:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle;
use Mail::Sender;
sub create_file
#__________________________________________________________
{
my ($file,$content)=@_;
if (!open(Q, "$file")) {
open(Q, ">$file") ;
print Q "$content";
close(Q);
}else{
unlink("$file");
system ("chmod 777 ./$file");
open(Q, "> $file") ;
print Q "$content";
close(Q);
}
system ("chmod 744 ./$file");
}
create_file("joel_test","hello");
0;
This script when run from the command line works fine but from the cron create the
file empty!!!! Has anybody experienced this problem before, thanks.
