Script is not working when put in crontab
Hi there, this is part of my script:
/usr/bin/cd /u01/oradata
/usr/bin/cp `/bin/ls -1 . |grep -v "^DIMStemp01.dbf$" | grep -v "^DIMSts01.dbf$"|grep -v "^DIMStects01.dbf$"` /backup
It's working fine when I manually run on telnet session.
/bin/ls -1 . -- to list all the files inside /u01/oradata
However, when i schedule the job in crontab, it is listing all the files in / instead of /u01/oradata.
Any1 here knows how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
