Hello,
I am trying to troubleshoot a CRON issue : CRON doesn't run my scripts but when run outside the CRON, the script runs perfect.(The same script was running since a year and suddenly it stopped since a month. Nothing got changed in the script or the env). The OS is RHAS 3.0, update 8.
To troubleshoot further, I wrote a small script to output the date command which is as below
vi test.sh
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
/bin/date > /home/test/test.out
-----------------------------------
then I added entries in the CRON:
15 10 * * * /home/test/test.sh > /home/test/testcron.out 2>&1
-----------------------------------
The CRON again doesn't seem to be running the script. The script worked fine when I execute it from the command propmt $ ./test.sh
Has anyone experienced this kind of issues before. I verified the environment too but still cannot figure out the cause.
I appreciate your response.
Thanks
TG
