Thanks for the inputs, that works. Now the script that I have issue, I am trying to logon to a remote server and get a listing from a directory.
the above command works fine from the command line but not through crontab
At this point I'm guessing ssh keys. You probably need to explicitly include the private key file you are using:
assuming the identity file is the id_dsa file.
What are you trying to get from the server? Do you have stat on the server? Could you use that to find the file information you are looking for?
I have a crontab as below:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/bin/:..... etc etc
0 8 * * * /home/user/jobs/poll.sh 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
Now the script poll.sh is called at correct time and executes.
This is how poll.sh looks like

All the directories in this location are named after usernames, so it simply sets the owner to that of the username of the folder.

Attached is a generated script of the database files if/when we want to run dbv = dbverify.

atrun
ATRUN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ATRUN(8)NAME
atrun -- run jobs queued for later execution
SYNOPSIS
atrun [-l load_avg] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
atrun runs jobs queued by at(1). Root's crontab(5) must contain the line:
*/10 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
so that atrun(8) gets called every ten minutes.
At every invocation, every job in lowercase queues whose starting time has passed is started. A maximum of one batch job (denoted by upper-
case queues) is started each time atrun is invoked.
OPTIONS -l load_avg
Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compiled-in value of 1.5.
-d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3).
WARNINGS
For atrun to work, you have to start up a cron(8) daemon.
FILES
/var/at/spool Directory containing output spool files
/var/at/jobs Directory containing job files
SEE ALSO at(1), crontab(1), syslog(3), crontab(5), cron(8)AUTHORS
Thomas Koenig <ig25@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>
BUGS
The functionality of atrun should be merged into cron(8).
