That is understandable. You try to set an environment, but you start two separate environments for this. In one of them you source in the file /etc/profile.sas:

Code:
. /etc/profile.sas

If this command returns "TRUE" (or 0, which is, for this purpose, the same), then in a second environement the command

Code:
/data/work/cr_folder1.sh > /data/work/cr_folder1.out  2>&1

is executed. But perhaps you rely on a certain environment to be set inside your script, not in some other unrelated process. This is why your script (most probably) failed.

Note that this is all conjecture because i cannot read what in the script /data/work/cr_folder1.sh is (crystal ball not working, y'know).

If my educated guesswork is indeed right you might want to do it this way:

First, change your CRON entry to:

Code:
07 08 * * * 1-5 /data/work/cr_folder1.sh > /data/work/cr_folder1.out  2>&1

next change your script this way:

Code:
# cat /data/work/cr_folder1.sh
#! /bin/ksh

if [ ! -r /etc/profile.sas ] ; then
     print -u2 "Environment file /etc/profile.sas not found. Aborting."
     exit 1
else
     . /etc/profile.sas
fi

<... rest of your script ...>

exit 0

I hope this helps.

exchange2mbox

EXCHANGE2MBOX(1)					     OpenChange Users' Manual						  EXCHANGE2MBOX(1)

NAME

       exchange2mbox - Convert Exchange mailbox to mbox file

SYNOPSIS

       exchange2mbox [-?|--help] [--usage] [-f|--database PATH] [-p|--profile PROFILE]
	   [-P|--password PASSWORD] [-m|--mbox FILENAME] [-u|--update]
	   [-d|--debuglevel LEVEL] [--dump-data]

DESCRIPTION

       exchange2mbox  provides	a  way	to  synchronize an Exchange mailbox with a mbox file. The tool is developed so it only retrieves mails not
       already stored in the message ID index database and reflects changes back to the Exchange server if the local message copy are deleted.

OPTIONS

       --database

       -f     Set the path to the profile database to use

       --profile

       -p     Set the profile to use. If no profile is specified, exchange2mbox try to retrieve the default profile in the database. If no default
	      profile has been set, exchange2mbox returns MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND .

       --password

       -P     Set the password for the profile to use. This can be omitted if the password is stored in the profile.

       --mbox

       -m     Set the mbox file full path

       --update

       -u     Synchronize the local mbox file with the remote Exchange server mailbox.

       --dump-data
	      Dump the hex data. This is only required for debugging or educational purposes.

       --debuglevel LEVEL

       -d     Set the debug level.

EXAMPLES

       Create/Update the mbox file and indexes within the profile database:
       exchange2mbox

       Update the Exchange mailbox and indexes according to the changes made to the mbox file.

       exchange2mbox -u

REMARKS

       If  no  mbox file is specified, one will be automatically created in $(HOME)/.openchange/mbox .	If you are using the default profile data-
       base path and have set a default profile (using mapiprofile --profile=profile_name -S ) you do not need to specify these parameters on  the
       command line.
