Hi I am facing problem in running cron jobs which actually calls a shell script .

Can anyone help as i am new to unix .

Whenever i run the cron job it does nothing .
I see that the shell is called but don't know why it is not getting executed.
But when i run the shell independently it executes .
Pls let me know in details the problem adn the soltuion .
Kindly help it is urgent .

yes one more thing
I have made a plenv.sh in which i have declared all databse connection , java path , class path etc and use it in the shell script --- is that the reason ??

shuz

Hi,

Are all the env.variables needed by the shell set in the script or sourced from another file? A shell started by cron doesn't read the .profile and therefore hasn't got the usual settings.

Regards
