Operating Systems HP-UX Crontab do not run on PM hours

Is there any entry at all for the 13:00 run in the cron log?
Code:
grep "report" /usr/adm/cron/log

If the script did run, please post the contents of the script because there must be something funny in it.

If the cron did not run at all, is there anything relevant in /usr/adm/syslog/syslog.log ?
Do you have any other symptoms like commands mysteriously not working? Has the kernel been tuned since the system was installed?

from:
Code:
grep "report" /var/adm/cron/log

, I got
Code:
>  CMD: /home/report/opn_amt_gestores_credito.ksh > opn_amt_gestores_credito.log
>  report 908 c Thu Apr 12 01:00:00 SAST 2012
<  report 908 c Thu Apr 12 01:07:08 SAST 2012

which is right for the 01:00AM.

This is not getting us along too well. You do know that crond does NOT create environment variables for a user like login does. This will mess up a lot of otherwise good code.

So the first problem is since you are not getting errors from your redirection:

where is the log file? does it exist - post the output of:
Code:
find / -name opn_amt_gestores_credito.log -exec ls -l {} \;

Next PLEASE post your code, something odd is definitely going on.

Please also post:
Code:
# List of cron entries
crontab -l report
# Check whether someone is changing this file
ls -lad /usr/adm/cron/cron.allow
# Check what's in it at the moment (during the day)
cat /usr/adm/cron/cron.allow

that log do exist, it was created at 01:00AM as you can see from:
Code:
$ find / -name opn_amt_gestores_credito.log -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r--   1 report     users          523 Apr 12 01:07 /home/report/opn_amt_gestores_credito.log

and from:

Code:
$ crontab -l report
45 02 * * * /home/report/duo_subscribers.ksh > duo_subscribers.log
45 03 * * * /home/report/postpaid_subscribers.ksh > postpaid_subscribers.log
59 23 * * * /home/report/daily_open_amount.ksh > open_amount.log
20 0 9 1 * /home/report/ista_hlr.ksh > lista_hlr.log
10 1 9 1 * /home/report/dpworld_execure.ksh > dpworld_output.log
00 1 * * * /home/report/opn_amt_gestores_credito.ksh > opn_amt_gestores_credito.log
00 13 * * * /home/report/opn_amt_gestores_credito.ksh > opn_amt_gestores_credito.log

---------- Post updated at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:04 PM ----------

and sorry the code :
Code:
$ more opn_amt_gestores_credito.ksh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
export ORACLE_HOME=/fs2/ora10g
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus dbextra/dbextra@bscsprod_node0 @/home/report/execute_Open_Amount_Gestores_Credito.sql

It's 13:00 here. Have you already had 13:00 in your timezone?
Did the cron fire:
Code:
grep report /usr/adm/cron/log

yes 1:00PM or 13:00 has already gone here 1 hour and 16 minutes ago, but the second entry did not run:
Code:
00 13 * * * /home/report/opn_amt_gestores_credito.ksh > opn_amt_gestores_credito.log

and in /var/adm/cron/log no entry for that one, only for the 01:00AM

Code:
CMD: /home/report/opn_amt_gestores_credito.ksh > opn_amt_gestores_credito.log
>  report 908 c Thu Apr 12 01:00:00 SAST 2012
<  report 908 c Thu Apr 12 01:07:08 SAST 2012
