crontab and shell script that executes a sql.
Problem:
I have a crontab and when it kicks off, xxx.sh shell script is called. Which has a nohup sqlplus session call. Problem is sql does not get executed and a text file is not getting created. Only a empty log file is getting created. Are there any constraints for crontab to open a sql plus session? Why is the sql not spooling the data? If I execute this shell script on command line every thing works nicely.
I have a crontab that is calling a shell script:
28 14 * * 1-5 $HOME/xxx.sh >> $HOME/xxx.log
code in xxx.sh:
nohup sqlplus userid/password@host @${SCRIPTSD}/xxx.sql ${OUTPUTD}/outfile.txt $datamonth > ${SCRIPTSD}/xxx.log &
wait
exit 0
Only the xxx.log file is getting created. No data file is getting created!
Does anybody know what's the problem.
ThankYou,
Radhika.

NAME
face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface
SYNOPSIS
face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and
forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user.
filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string
that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be
ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the
command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the
LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a alias_file Alias file
-c command_file Command file
-i init_file Initial file
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially.
EXIT STATUS
The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a FACE user.
FILES
$HOME/pref/.environ
