To spool output from a database query
Hi all,

I would want to spool file for a database query, however by using crontab, the file is not spooled. Below shows my script:

ORACLE_HOME="/u01/oraprod/perpdb/10.1.0/db_1"
OUTFILE="/tmp/invalid.out"
FILE="$HOME/admin/scripts"
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s "/as sysdba" @$FILE/compile_inv_obj.sql
sleep 30
echo exit >>$FILE/comp_all.sql

contents inside $FILE/compile_inv_obj.sql

spool comp_all.sql
select
decode( OBJECT_TYPE, 'PACKAGE BODY',
'alter package ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile body;',
'alter ' || OBJECT_TYPE || ' ' || OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME || ' compile;' )
from
dba_objects
spool off

I could not c comp_all.sql in anywhere of my file system. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

cron

CRON(8) 						      System Manager's Manual							   CRON(8)

NAME

       cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)

SYNOPSIS

       cron

DESCRIPTION

       Cron should be started from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local.  It will return immediately, so you don't need to start it with '&'.

       Cron searches /var/spool/cron for crontab files which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into memory.  Cron
       also searches for /etc/crontab and the files in the /etc/cron.d/ directory, which are in a different format (see  crontab(5)).	Cron  then
       wakes up every minute, examining all stored crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be run in the current minute.  When execut-
       ing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab,	if
       such exists).

       Additionally,  cron checks each minute to see if its spool directory's modtime (or the modtime on /etc/crontab) has changed, and if it has,
       cron will then examine the modtime on all crontabs and reload those which have changed.	Thus cron need not be restarted whenever a crontab
       file is modified.  Note that the Crontab(1) command updates the modtime of the spool directory whenever it changes a crontab.
