Crontab Job Syntax

I have a ksh script that does the following



1. Script executes and creates an output file from a sql query
2. That output file is an input file to the script
3. generates an html file to email to DBA receipients

The following syntax works at the command line

Code:
/home/sybase/dbascripts/syb_bkup_rpt.ksh /home/sybase/dbascripts/input/bkup_rpt-qry.tx

t


The following crontab sybtax does not work

Code:
35 18 * * 0-6 /home/sybase/dbascripts/syb_bkup_rpt.ksh >/home/sybase/dbascripts/input/bkup_rpt_qry.txt 2>$1


How do I do the followinf

1. Ececute script 1 - syb_bkup_rpt.ksh which generates output file
bkup_rpt_qry.txt
2 Use output file bkup_rpt_qry.txt as input to script 1
3. log errors in another file

Example
Code:
syb_bkup_rpt.ksh bkup_rpt_qry.txt > bkup_rpt_err.log

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
