I'm not sure if this is the issue. It could be. Do you have a server where you can install OpenSSH and test from there?

I saw one post on google where the user added -1 to the ssh command line and it worked. But the downside is youre using protocol 1. Not really a solution.

ah ha!

I have installed openssh on the same server - and change my script to use the full path name of the openssh i installed.

Now it works fine from cron, the scripts execute and the processing exit as expected.

Weird one this - but this fix will do fine for me. Thanks for sticking it out - the help is very much appreciated!

Hi All,
I have a query in calling shell script using SSH.
Eg :
i have established passwordless SSH connection between two servers say user1@ser1 and user2@ser2. I need to call the script in ser2 from ser1.
i can able to execute if run the command individually in prompts i.e
$ssh user2@ser2
$sh scriptname.sh ...
The above works fine but if i give like
ssh -l user2 ser2 "//home//scriptname.sh"
then it shows the error "sqlplus:not found"

Please help me to understand the problem

I think you will probably find that the path for sqlplus is not set properly when you run this remotely.
It should work if you specify the full path to sqlplus in your script or else you could set all the environment variables (such as PATH) in your script so that they are set up as if it was the same as you logging in to the server
