Script not running from cron

Hi,

I''ve made a script that's running fine from the command line but when running from cron it encounters the following issue:

/tmp/tstscript/testfail.ksh: typeset: not found

I've searched in Google and couldn't find anything, here's the beggining of the script (I can post the rest if necessary):

#!/usr/bin/ksh

typeset -i quant
flag=n

(...)

Any help on this would be more than welcome.

Actually putting the whole script will help in understand the whole scenario

Here it is:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

typeset -i quant
flag=n
DBOS=`env | grep  BO | egrep -v "longmsumu1|stream" | awk '{ FS="=+" } { print $1 }' | xargs`
for env in `echo $DBOS`
do
        /apps/sum_glob/gbo_live/sparse/bin/dmg_cronlaunch -ENVI $env -EXE  /home/gbouausr/bin/failq.ksh
        LOADERS=`grep LDR /tmp/result.txt | awk '{printf $1 "\n"}' | xargs`
        for ldr in $LOADERS
        do
                quant=`grep $ldr /tmp/result.txt | awk '{printf $2}'`
                if [ "$quant" -gt 100 ]
                then
                        flag=y
                        echo "$env: $ldr  $quant" >> /tmp/extr_over10k.txt
                fi
        done
                rm /tmp/result.txt
done
if [ $flag = "y" ]
then
        cat /tmp/extr_over10k.txt | mailx -s "Instances with more than 100 trades in the Fail Queue" -r <mail_address>"
fi

rm /tmp/extr_over10k.txt

Your error message suggests that you are running Bourne Shell not Korn Shell.

Quote:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
Check this line and make sure that it is the very first line of the script. Anywhere else and it won't change the Shell to ksh. Even a blank line will stop it working.

I've tried that as well but it's not working. Also the default shell is Korn shell:

gbouausr@longmsumu1$> echo $SHELL
/bin/ksh
