Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a shell script that I have scheduled using cron using a command:

Code:

0 10 * * * /directory/Script.sh > /directory/log/output.log

The script is scheduled to run at 10 AM everyday. The script executes but produces output files only with headers, no content is there.

The script produces two output files. When I run the script manually it works fine. But when scheduled it is not producing the correct output.

Help me out.

Thanks

Try this and see if you get some error in your output.log file.

Code:

0 10 * * * /directory/Script.sh > /directory/log/output.log 2>&1

Okay, I wiil try this and can you please tell me how to schedule fr 5.10 AM as I have to wait for another half an hour to run this command.

Use this.

Code:

10 05 * * * /directory/Script.sh > /directory/log/output.log 2>&1

Read this to get the format for crontab
Cron format

I have tried your command but nothing is really working,

Yeah I checked out the output.txt, It shows

Code:

/EC2InstanceAuditScript.sh: line 20: ec2-describe-instances: command not found

How to resolve this?

Kindly see my edited reply

I think you have to provide the code for both scripts here.. so that we can know what cmds you are trying to execute

okay I will
