Getting issue while running it from cron while manually working fine
Hello,

I am working one one script where I am using the below code which is using to connect with MKS client when I run my script manually it works effiecently i.e. it connects with MKS client but when I run it from CRON it doesn't connect.

1)Can some one tell when it is running from cron how could I check whether the variables are getting popuated or not
2)Is there any methodwith wich I can achieve this I need to trun this script from cron.


Code:
MKS_Connection()
{
si connect --hostname=si.pan.com --port=7001 --user=Lintomation --password=Lin4tw --yes
ReturnCode=$?;
if [[ "${ReturnCode}" -ne "0" ]];then
echo "Issue found during connection" | mail -s "MKS Connection issue1 from STP" rohit.sin@tlport.com
exit 1;
else
echo "Connection to MKS Client is in progress" |mail -s "MKS Connection1 FROM STP" rohit.sin@tlport.com
fi
}
MKS_Connection

Thanks in advance

pppoe-connect

PPPOE-CONNECT(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  PPPOE-CONNECT(8)

NAME

       pppoe-connect - Shell script to manage a PPPoE link

SYNOPSIS

       pppoe-connect [config_file]

       pppoe-connect interface user [config_file]

DESCRIPTION

       pppoe-connect  is  a  shell  script  which  manages a PPPoE connection using the Roaring Penguin user-space PPPoE client.  If you omit con-
       fig_file, the default file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 is used.  If you supply interface and user,  then  they  override  the
       Ethernet interface and user-name settings in the configuration file.

       Note that normally, you should not invoke pppoe-connect directly.  Instead, use pppoe-start to bring up the PPPoE connection.

       pppoe-connect  first  reads a configuration file.  It then brings up a PPPoE connection.  If the connection ever drops, a message is logged
       to syslog, and pppoe-connect re-establishes the connection.  In addition, each time the connection is dropped  or  cannot  be  established,
       pppoe-connect executes the script /etc/ppp/pppoe-lost if it exists and is executable.

       The shell script pppoe-stop causes pppoe-connect to break out of its loop, bring the connection down, and exit.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

       pppoe-connect uses the following shell variables from the configuration file:

       ETH    The Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem (for example, eth0).

       USER   The PPPoE user-id (for example, b1xxnxnx@sympatico.ca).

       PIDFILE
	      A file in which to write the process-ID of the pppoe-connect process (for example, /var/run/pppoe.pid).  Two additional files ($PID-
	      FILE.pppd and $PIDFILE.pppoe) hold the process-ID's of the pppd and pppoe processes, respectively.

       By using different configuration files with different PIDFILE settings, you can manage multiple PPPoE connections.  Just specify  the  con-
       figuration file as an argument to pppoe-start and pppoe-stop.
