Check the cron/crontab man pages to see what environment is setup for jobs run from cron. You can also re-direct any output from you script to a file, i.e. /opt/qqad/sql/QQAD_backupscript.sh > /some_file 2>&1 This should send STDOUT and STDERR to /some_file.
Inside your script you can also show you current environment, env, printenv, set, etc. The output can then be re-directed to a file. We had an issue on AIX where the environment that cron run jobs used was different than the one you got just by logging in. -- Paul ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 11:28 AM > Hi All, > > I have a crontab job but this job never started, I have no idea what's > wrong, actualy i am not a unix person, here is the job: > cron job name is : qqad.cron > 04 17 * * 1-5 /opt/qqad/sql/QQAD_backupscript.sh > and here is the QQAD_backupscript.sh (in /opt/qqad/sql) > > sqlplus system/manager@QQAD @COLD_BAKUP_FOR_QQADha.SQL; cold_back.sql is > generated by COLD_BAKUP_FOR_QQADha.SQL > > @/opt/qqad/sql/cold_back.sql; > > If I run the job manualy it is going OK but crontab never start. > Any Idea?? > > > Hamid Alavi > Office 818 737-0526 > Cell 818 402-1987 > > The information contained in this message and any attachments is intended > only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and > may contain information that is PRIVILEGED, CONFIDENTIAL and exempt from > disclosure under applicable law.
