java errors when calling from cron

mntamago · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2002

I am more or less new to using cron, and I am trying to automate a log cleaning system I have made. The system basically cleans through WWW logs that are mounted on an NFS and creates text files for entry into a local PostgreSQL DB.

For the past year I have been running the various scripts and programs I have created from the terminal daily. Everything worked just fine. However, when I rely on cron I now I find I can not insert into my PostgreSQL DB using its JAVA interface. I get the following errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /Users/admin/LOGS/Insert_data

The flow of the insert routine that I use runs as follows:

01_insert_data.csh -> 01_insert_data.pl -> Insert_data.class
(call one site at a time) (lists up non-inserted files) (inserts data into DB)

What is the difference between running appli from the terminal and running appli from the cron? What gets "lost" with cron that would be nomally found on the terminal?
