Problem with executing a shell script through the cron
Hi,
I have a shell script as below:
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/opt/oracle/product/dev
export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH
OUTFILE=/export/home/`basename $0`.out
export OUTFILE
export IDEN
df -k . | tail -1 | read a b c d e f
echo $a >> $OUTFILE
echo $b >> $OUTFILE
echo $c >> $OUTFILE
echo $d >> $OUTFILE
echo $e >> $OUTFILE
echo $f >> $OUTFILE
When i try to execute this script manually, I get the value for all a,b,c,d,e,f populated. However, on trying to execute it thru the cron, all these values come blank.
Can anyone help me with the reason behind this?
Thanks in advance.
