Hi All,

I have taken this script to get the required results , but when i run this manually it works fine but when i run this as a cronjob this fails:
while read filename
do
line=$(head -1 $filename)
if [[ $line = *ID* ]] ; then
echo "Found ID in $filename"
else
# move the file to some folder
mv $filename /some/folder
fi;
done < list_of_filenames.txt

The error that i get is ": syntax error at line 25: `line=$' unexpected"

this works fine if i run this manually.


Can anyone help me please

When you run a job in a cron, it runs on your home directory and it does not
execute your '.profile', thus, it does not know about your PATH nor any other
environment variable.

Either place the input file in your home directory or assign a specific path
to it.

Also make sure you are running ksh by placing the following as the first line of
your shell script:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

THis is the script that i am using:

FROM_DIR=/home/sandy_home/cc3; export FROM_DIR
LOG_DIR=/home/sandy_home/log_dir; export LOG_DIR

echo "NUMBER OF cc3 files BEFORE process STARTS-IF A FILE IS MISSING/NOT TRANSFERRED CONTACT Sandeep" > $LOG_DIR/che
ckfile.log

cd $FROM_DIR


ls -l *.cc3 >> $LOG_DIR/checkfile.log
for ccfile in $FROM_DIR/*.cc3

do
line=$(head -1 $ccfile)
if [[ $line = *ID]];
then
echo "----------------------------FOUND ID in $ccfile------------------------------" >> $LOG_DIR/checkfile.log
else
echo "---------------------------- ID NOT FOUND in $ccfile--------------------------" >> $LOG_DIR/checkfile.log

mv $ccfile /home/sandy_home/failed

echo "-----------The file that had no ID has been moved to failed directory---" >> $LOG_DIR/checkfile.log
fi;
done
