hi quintet

Here is the cron entry:>

$ crontab -l
52 16 * * * /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/fullexp.ksh
$


here is the fullexp.ksh script:>

#!/usr/bin/ksh
export EDITOR=vi
export ORACLE_SID=mibast
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export SHELL=usr/bin/ksh
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/exp system/manager file='/data3/expo
rt/fullexp_31.dmp' log='/data3/export/fullexp_31.log' full=y consistent=y buffer

change the cron entry to

52 16 * * * /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/fullexp.ksh 1>/tmp/log.txt 2>&1

and check for any erroro message in that log

hi quintet


i have changed the cron entry but no luck, the log is not getting generated.

I can find this message in /var/adm/cron/log

> CMD: /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/fullexp.ksh 1>/tmp/log.txt 2>&1

This line has nothing to do in your script since you have decided to use the ksh shell (your first line is calling it..) especially when wrong! -> Where is the slash in front of usr?
