Hi, Scripts which run from the command line and not from cron are almost all either environment issues or security/permission issue.
I am not sure of your skill level, but I would test with calling a different test shell script in your home dir. For example: !#/usr/bin/ksh echo "my test" > /home/dirnamehere/filename.test See if that works. Lastly, google has some shell scripting forums and I think you would get helllp there.
