rah issue when running from crontab
Hi All,

I've prepared a script, content is-

#!/bin/bash
echo "HI" > /tmp1
rah ";\ df -m" | sort -u >> /tmp1
echo "BYE" >> /tmp1

I've scheduled this script to be run thorugh crontab, but the script is not being able to run rah command. The output file is coming like this-

$cat /tmp1
HI
BYE

When I am running this file outside in command prompt, it's running fine. Where is the issue? I've 10 servers configured together for our db2 instance.

Thanks,
Naresh

Try using the full path for rah.

How to find out full path of rah?

try:

Code:
type rah

I think it should give you the path name.

/db2home/bculinux/sqllib/bin/rah "df -m"

It's not being able to run rah command from crontab.
