But the directory you're creating $timestamp1 and $timestamp2 in isn't the directory you would have been creating them in otherwise.

Add an 'echo asdf' to the top of your script under the ftp to see if it's running anything at all.

I see what you mean however cd'ing to /home/it/capopt/S10/er_data prior to $timestamp1 & $timestamp2 has no affect unfortunately. Its like its being treated as 2 seperate scripts and that it breaks somehow after the ftp is complete!

---------- Post updated at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:31 PM ----------

To get around this I have just ran two seperate scripts in cron. Im sure there is a way around it but for now Im doing it the dumbass way!!
Thnaks for yer help

This is almost certainly due to bad/extra characters in the scripts.

Please post the output from this "sed" command which is designed to make all characters visible.

Code:
sed -n l script1
sed -n l script2

The issue was due to the path for sed not being in place. Adding
Code:
PATH=/usr/bin:/oracle_install/product/10.2.0/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin

fixed the issue

Thnaks all for the help again
