you must explicitly do so within a shell, within your cron command.
try putting everything into another script like this:
quirks_new_script.sh:
Code:
. /home/user/.profile
/home/dreg/script.sh
vger's recommendation will only work if there are no "sh" incompatible commands within the .profile.
* edit * -- in fact, on my machine, cron does not interpret ~ correctly.
What I'm saying is this:
cron is run under the Bourne shell.
Your script is who-knows-which shell.
Therefore, you must create something that sets up the environment explicitly for your ORACLE script to run.
Do not assume ANYTHING is set up.
Remember: the user's .profile IS NOT USED THROUGH cron.

If a script executes from the command line but has issues in cron, it is possible that your environment is not getting set properly. With Oracle in particular, you need : ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME set in your environment and ORACLE_HOME/bin must be concatenated to your path. This may be done for you by sourcing "oraenv" which typically resides in /usr/local/bin (check with your DBA). If you look in your .profile, it may contain the necessary steps to establish your environment. You can add these environment settings to your script, or you can source a separate file to set them.
an example. If your database SID is "prod1" and Oracle Home is /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 then add the following to your Korne or Bourne shell:
