Oracle Apps Cron Job

cjhall01 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-08-2008

Hi,

I have created a shell script which will ftp a file from my Oracle DB server to a remote server - I've named this ftp_test.sh.

I have set up a cron job to fire off the shell script and when I set the job I get a message returned that the job has been installed and everything seems o.k.

However, when I check to see whether my file has been ftp'd it is n't there.

Is there anyway I can check to see if the cron job has actually ran or not and if not - why?

You should redirect the output of your cronjob to some log like:

Code:

* * * * * /home/jupp/somejob.ksh >> /home/jupp/somejob.log 2>&1

Also check if you got mails for the user the cronjob is running, concerning the cronjob.

And have a look here, if you have problems with environmental settings etc.:
cron and crontab
