Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi
I have this posted in the Solaris section also so apologies if not permitted to post here also.

problem is that my cron will not run a script that runs perfectly fine from command line. The script is written in sh but contains reference to a .pl.

Initial script only had path #!/usr/bin/sh and does refer to a .pl script.
I have amedned now to have two paths with

#!/usr/bin/sh [At the start as normal]

&

#!/usr/bin/perl -w [before perl script is run]

This had no affect and the cron still does not run the script....

ANy help greatly appreciated

Well, let's see:

sorry but your message doesn't make much sense.

The script runs from command so its not a permissions. I have several scripts already running fine in cron.

no I dint but I will do now, run and get back to you..thanks.

Does syntax change for each line?

($$) Start S0 ($#) $@" >> /<filename>

Also check for core and email, and in the crontab line, maybe redirect to outer log

Code:

:5 4 3 2 1 (...) >>/var/tmp/cronlog.myid 2>&1

Here is my script

Code:

#!/usr/bin/sh

cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S30
files=`gdate -d today  +%-d_%-m_%Y`
newfiles=`gdate -d today  +%-d%m`
cat *"$files"* > robtest
sleep 20
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S30
./hash.pl robtest > $newfiles
#kill $
exit 0

thanks I have also removed the redirects from cron

Code:

16 4 * * * /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S30/condenseS30.sh
