This is a bad idea, mainly because (as you already know) it doesn't work :)

You're correct. That's my mistake
Hello,
I have a script that is started through cron. This script contains
several steps, each step writes information to stdout, in case of errors
to stderr.
The total script runs for about 6 hours and then the the combined output
of all steps is mailed to root.
However, is there a way

I have a fairly lengthy routine which runs each
Sunday morning in a cronjob. For many months
now it has never completed, and I have to manually
run it from the CLI. (which runs fine). The cronjob
runs as root.
It isn't failing because of a PATH problem,
(it's just /usr/local/bin/analog running
/bin/analog running in dozens
of repetitions)
/usr/bin/limits shows most limits as infinity
I don't get any email error message .. nothing! it just quits!
any ideas?
Add echo statements to the job, or change it to being a shell script that cron
calls, which then runs all of your analog
Is your shell different from the account running the cron job? Is there
any other jobs that might kill this cron job?
Add echo statements to your script and save a log file. Be sure to
redirect stderr as well as stdout to the log file.

How can I simulate a cron job from the shell? There must be something
different about the way cron is executing this command...
Counld be different environment variables set, different working
directory...
Any diagnostic when it hangs?

That's what I'm trying to find out. The cron man pages are ... empty
on the subject.
Remove every and any environment variable and try to run from / or
from /root or from /tmp
OK that's trial and error approach
