Hi All,
i have a cron entry like

0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54,57 * * * * /amex/sssmonitor/dss_chk.ksh

and the script is like

#!/bin/ksh
file=`uname -n`
> /sunmast/projects/oasis/COREDEV/Dss$file.log
> /tmp/output_sss
today=`date`
varb=`ps -ef | grep java | grep sss | grep -v grep | wc -l`
if [ "$varb" -ne 1 ]
then
echo "FAILED : SSS processes down, Recycling SSS " >> /sunmast/projects/oasis/COREDEV/Dss$file.log
sudo /etc/init.d/init.sss start >> /tmp/output_sss
else
echo "SSS process is running successfully on `uname -n` on $today " >> /sunmast/projects/oasis/COREDEV/Dss$file.log
fi
MEMSIZE=`ps -e -o vsz,args | grep /amex/dss/sss/java | grep -v grep | cut -d' ' -f1`
echo " Memory usage by dss java client in kilobytes is $MEMSIZE on $today " >> /sunmast/projects/oasis/COREDEV/Dss$file.log

when i am manully running this script sudo command inside the script is working,But when the cron is executing the sudo command is not working inside the script.
Could anyone let me know what could be the possible reason.
I have checked that the cron is executing as other command are running except the sudo command.

Please help.

Thanks
