I set up a job to run a script in a certain directory to remove certain files. The script seems to run as my logs indicate but nothing happens. If I run the script manually then it removes the correct files. I'm now wondering if crontab doesnt have access to remove files from the directory I'm pointing to? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

as always.... look into the FAQs first!

Did you read my question? The crontab faq did not answer it. I wasnt referring to cron running permissions.

99% of problems with crontab are that is executes with a minimal environment and does not execute your .login, .profile or whatever.

Put in a wrapper script that captures the stdout and stderr, and use "#!/bin/sh -x" as the first line in your script to debug it.

Yes, I did. I don't believe I said anything about 'running permissions'.
As porter has pointed the answer to 'why it works from CLI and not from crontab' usually has to do with the environment of the crontab. That's what the FAQ explains in great details.
If you do read the FAQ (once again) it might help you to troubleshoot the issue.

Actually I'm using the script you helped me with, which is basically

So from what you're saying, its not retaining what its finding? Is there a way to make this work in cron for a certain directory?

I suggest you post the whole script.

So there should be a "#!/bin/sh" at the start, and also, change the current directory to what you want to start with.
