Execution problem with CRON job
HI,
I have written an executable file in unix and I was able to execute it successfully but when I called this file with cron job it was giving error like "permission denied" and "No such file or directory".
Please help in how cron calls the file and what permission is required on the file being used in executable file and/or what other issue can exist with this.
Thanks,
Vipin Kumar Rai
