Hi methyl,

Thanks for your reply,
indeed the problem was related to the environment variables Smilie
running
Code:
set

on the two occasions, shell and cron gave different env variables.
So I added at the beginning of the script this part:
Code:
. /home/oracle/.profile

Everything OK , the dump export and the dump_log is created ok Smilie, but strange because the scripts stops/exits after the exp command and I don't get the last echo and date part of the script.

It is a minor problem , but I'll try to figure out why it stops there.

Regards

NAME
sa2 - Write a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat directory. SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sysstat/sa2 DESCRIPTION
The sa2 command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat/sardd file, where the dd parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command. The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command. EXAMPLES
To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root or adm crontab file: 5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sysstat/sa2 -A & This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sysstat/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old. Debian note The Debian sysstat package has already placed such an entry in your system crontab. Please refer to the /usr/share/doc/sys- stat/README.Debian file for details. FILES
/var/log/sysstat/sardd Indicate the daily report file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the month. AUTHOR
