Full Discussion: Korn shell. wait command and crontab
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Korn shell. wait command and crontab Post 302699853 by methyl on Wednesday 12th of September 2012 12:04:45 PM

Please post what Operating System and version you are running:
Code:
uname -a # Blotting anything confidential with Xs

And what version of Oracle you have.

The Korn Shell script as posted should work if it is invoked directly with full path as an executable script.
Please post the relevant line from crontab and a full directory listing of the script.

The "wait" not work if the "sqlplus" lines are actually other scripts which start a new Shell.
