Issues with cronjob : Script using sendmail

Hi All,

I am new to unix. I have created a cron job, that sends mail using sendmail utility. Am facing a unique problem while making a cron job for this script.

In the script I append a file to my mail using 'cat' command.

[code] cat $report >> $mailMsg [code]

& this $mailMsg is used as mail content(along with other static data) .

My problem is whenever I run the shell script manually everything works fine, the mail is sent successfully with my file($report) contents. But when a cron job executes the script, the mail is sent but the mail does not include the file contents($report).

Sample mail when script is executed manually executed:

========= Log Report =============
{$report contents}
===============================================================================
== Starting Test at: Jun 4, 2009 12:04:15 AM EDT

But from cron job I dont get report contents.

I only get 1st static line in mail.

========= Log Report =============

{no report file contents}

Can anyone tell me why is it happening?

Please help.

Thanks in Advance,
Anshul
