Cron entry to pass the value to script
0


I have a script(main.sh) which calls another script(Get_Files.sh) and gets a value in a variable like the below:

Code:
File_to_Refresh="$(sh /Aug/work/Get_Files.sh /Aug/Work/Universal_File.txt)"

Now I have to schedule the script main.sh for 3 different files i.e. the Universal_File.txt with 3 different values and on 3 different days.

So, to make the script generic, I want to pass the Universal file to Get_Files.sh from the Cron Entry only.

How Can i achieve the same?

Below is working if I run the script manually like sh /Aug/Work/main.sh /Aug/Work/Universal_File.txt but it's not working when i run it through cron.

Code:
File_to_Refresh="$(sh /Aug/work/Get_Files.sh "$1")"

Cron :

Code:
45 08 * * * sh /Aug/Work/main.sh /Aug/Work/Universal_File.txt

NAME

       vmware-xferlogs - dump vm-support output to vmx logfile

SYNOPSIS

       vmware-xferlogs OPTIONS FILE

DESCRIPTION

       vmware-xferlogs is a simple console application and can be run as any user. It is based on rpctool to dump the vm-support output to the vmx
       log file base64 encoded. It can dump any file supplied on the commandline to the vmx log. It also does the decoding part of it. It can read
       the vmware.log file decode and write the encoded files in the directory it was invoked.

       Example of a transfer found in the vmx log file:
