crontab problem

guest100 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-07-2001

Hi,

I trying to include a script in my crontab as user. I used "crontab -e" to include my script there but does not seem to work. If I understand correctly it is set to run at 11:20 every day, correct?
Can anybody identify any error?

<pre>

#Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.7 Generic October 1998
$ pwd
/home/oracle
$ whoami
oracle
$ ls -l |grep CLFY
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 36803584 Nov 7 11:29 CLFY_071101.dmp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 162 Nov 6 15:41 exp_CLFY_script
$ crontab -l
20 11 * * * /home/oracle/exp_CLFY_script

$ more /home/oracle/exp_CLFY_script
#!/bin/sh

CUR_DATE=`date '+%d%m%y'`
exp sa/sa@CLFY file=/home/oracle/CLFY_$CUR_DATE.dmp BUFFER=4096 GRANTS=Y COMPRESS=Y ROWS=Y OWNER=sa
echo CLFY_$CUR_DATE.dmp"

</pre>

The script is working fine when I run it. The crontab doesn't seem to work. Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks
