sqlplus output from ksh.
Hi All, I have the below simple script.
It runs just fine by itself when I manually invoke it.
But once I put it in the crontab with entry:

Code:
* * * * * /users/myuser/test.ksh >> /users/myuser/log/test.txt

"

It does NOT print the returned value ($REMAIN) from the DB!?

The result in the text file is just nothing like this:

Code:
start: Sat Dec 17 17:59:00 EST 2011
Returned value=

Anyone has any idea? It is obviously not a permission issue otherwise even those static texts would not have come back.....and when I run it manually it returnes the count. What else can it be? Thx.


Code:
#!/bin/ksh
 
echo "start:" $(date)
 
REMAIN=`sqlplus -silent uid/pwd@MYDB <<EOF
SET PAGESIZE 0 FEEDBACK OFF VERIFY OFF HEADING OFF ECHO OFF
 
select count(*) from my_table;
 
EXIT;
EOF`
 
echo Returned value=$(REMAIN)

P.S. Additionally, if I have multiple records coming back, or at least mutiple fields from the same record, how would that be handled in a simple way? But this is the next step, first I need to see why crontab does not get the return value to the text file output.
