Lightbulb crontab is not creating runtime files which are in script..

this is the output i am getting here..

cp: cannot create /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/eoigwsA_Health_Status_Report.html: Permission denied
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/GenerateReport.sh: /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/eoigwsA_Health_Status_Report.html: cannot create
zip I/O error: Permission denied
zip error: Could not create output file (Model_B_reports.zip)

if i execute the script manully in the same env by using the absolute path. it works fine.. but when i use cron tab the cron cannot create the file..

Question Checking environment

How do you know you have the same environment. Perhaps it would be useful to put this in your crontab for a minute or so:

* * * * * printenv|sort

When you get the email, compare it to your own command-line version.

Your "cron" job on hwdusa33
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/start_script.sh

produced the following output:
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/b2bstat.sh: /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/teToday.log: cannot create
grep: can't open /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/teToday.log
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/teToday.log: No such file or directory
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/b2bstat.sh: /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/cnToday.log: cannot create
grep: can't open /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/cnToday.log
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/cnToday.log: No such file or directory
b2bstat.sh
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/start_script.sh: /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/logs/reports/dailyreport_env.log: cannot create
report_daily.sh
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/start_script.sh: /wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/logs/reports/dailyreport_env.log: cannot create
GenerateReport.sh

This is what i recived as output for cron.
here is my script
/wls_domains/eoigw/eoigwsA/deliv/cron/MailingScript/start_script.sh
when i execute it in this env it gives output as well send the mail
the cron account is on the same server.

here is sample

#For the test1.sh crontab
35 11 * * * /home/tolamas/suru/MailingScript/test1.sh

#test1.sh
cat /home/tolamas/suru/reports/test11.res
RCPT_LIST="st0030761@techmahindra.com"
SUBJECT="test mail dated ${MAIL_DATE} "
FROM="surekha.tolamatti@techmahindra.com"
(
cat /home/tolamas/suru/reports/test12.res
echo "HI this is crontab.."
) | mailx -s ${MAIL} -r "${FROM}" -s "${SUBJECT}" ${RCPT_LIST}
#end of file test1.sh

but cron is not able to execute the script
if it remove below two lines from the test1.sh the cron can execute the script.

cat /home/tolamas/suru/reports/test11.res
cat /home/tolamas/suru/reports/test12.res

On the first line of your script, add

#!/bin/sh

and try again. Also, post what you get in the email from the instructions here:

crontab is not creating runtime files which are in script..

One other thing to consider - do you have the cron job defined for the same login ID that you are testing with? This sounds like a permissions issue.
