RMAN commands inside crontab shell script
Hello

I'm trying to write simple script to delete archive logs for RMAN, unfortunately it's not working, I tried two way to do that:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Start ....."
rman target=/ << EOF
RUN {
  delete force noprompt archivelog until time 'sysdate-10';
}
EXIT;
EOF
echo "END ..."
echo `date`

the other way was

I wrote RMAN commands in separate file:

Code:
vi /scriprts/rman_c.txt
RUN {
  delete force noprompt archivelog until time 'sysdate-10';
}
EXIT;

Then I called those commands from shell script

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Start ....."
rman target=/ @rman_c.txt
echo "END ..."
echo `date`

When I run the script it will work in command line, but when I use it as crontab job it will never connect to RMAN

the output log for crontab job script will be:

Code:
cat /tmp/log.txt
 Start .....
END ...

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The  following  default	shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
       /bin/tcsh,  /bin/zsh,  /sbin/jsh,  /sbin/sh,  /usr/bin/bash,  /usr/bin/csh,  /usr/bin/jsh,  /usr/bin/ksh,  /usr/bin/pfcsh,  /usr/bin/pfksh,
       /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

FILES

       /etc/shells	       lists shells on system
