I looked at the env. and it seems to me that every thing is in the PATH, This is a new box, and I checked out the old box and everything seems to be the same. Here is the path and the script, It does work fine if you run it manually. It seems like it is choking on the /sbin/dump 0fsu /dev/ntape/tape0 1000000 /dev/disk/dsk0a >>&/etc/dump_log because first it never writes to the file and if I do a ps -ef | grep dump after the scheduled time nothing shows up.


PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/admin/wp51/wpbin/:/admin/wp51/shbin:/usr/ud/bin:/usr/local:/usr/udms:/usr/udms/etc

# Use restore -ivf /dev/tape/tape0_db0 -s x (x = volume to be restored from)

# Remember to rewind tape between restores when restoring different

# Also, check fs using df to make sure tape does not fill up.
# Check /etc/backup_date for start and stop times and

set::crontab

Crontab(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						Crontab(3)

NAME

       Set::Crontab - Expand crontab(5)-style integer lists

SYNOPSIS

       $s = Set::Crontab->new("1-9/3,>15,>30,!23", [0..30]);

       if ($s->contains(3)) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

       Set::Crontab parses crontab-style lists of integers and defines some utility functions to make it easier to deal with them.

   Syntax
       Numbers, ranges, *, and step values all work exactly as described in crontab(5). A few extensions to the standard syntax are described
       below.

       < and >
	   <N selects the elements smaller than N from the entire range, and adds them to the set. >N does likewise for elements larger than N.

       !   !N excludes N from the set. It applies to the other specified range; otherwise it applies to the specified ranges (i.e. "!3" with a
	   range of "1-10" corresponds to "1-2,4-10", but ">3,!7" in the same range means "4-6,8-10").

   Functions
       new($spec, [@range])
	   Creates a new Set::Crontab object and returns a reference to it.

       contains($num)
	   Returns true if $num exists in the set.

       list()
	   Returns the expanded list corresponding to the set.

       The functions described above croak if they are called with incorrect arguments.
