Script not successfull in cron
Hi,
I have a script to FTP the files to other unit.
Manually this script is running fine & files are getting transferred.

But running the same script using crontab does not transfer files, although the cron log shows that the file was executed.
PLz suggest

few points to take care:

1. Have you tried putting some dummy scripts in the crons to see it is running?

2. when a script is running thru crons will have only very limitted environment set to it. May be the .profile needs to be manually called in the cron or in the script to suffice this need

Try running the env command and output the result to a text file. Then schedule the same to happen during a cron job. You will almost certainly find a lot missing from the one run during cron. You may need to source your .profile or .bashrc or something else in the script run via cron.
