Don't use "naked" commands like chmod and db2. Give fully specified pathnames for the
command: e.g.,
Code:
/usr/bin/chmod 
/path/to/db2

your contrab entry should look something like this:
Code:
0 10 ** 1,2,3,4,5 /path/to/indoubt_transaction.shl 2&>1 > /path/to/logfile.log

Which will help you see where errors occur as well.
