(What everybody else said plus)
If you have root access (or get your sa to), vi /var/cron/log and look for
your job.
Under some situations cron will mail you a message and/or job output to
you, so check your unix mail.
The script template below should work (change as required). It's very very
basic but should do the job. Don't forget to make the script executable
with "chmod +x backup.ksh":
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Name: backup.ksh
#
DAYTIME=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M")
JOB_LOG=/tmp/backup.log.${DAYTIME}
exec 1>${JOB_LOG} 2>&1
echo "#\n#Starting ${0##*/} at $(date)\n#"
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/apps/oracle/8.1.5
export ORACLE_SID=MYDB
export PATH=${PATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin
sqlplus /nolog <<EOF
connect system/manager
@/path/to/my/script/first_script.sql
@/path/to/my/script/second_script.sql
exit;
EOF
echo "#\n#Ending ${0##*/} at $(date)\n#"
mailx -s "${0##*/}:$(uname -n):${ORACLE_SID}:$(date)"

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
