Start by telling the differences between both of these scripts.
Code:
cd /moneta_polled01/download
ls -l get_dealer.sh mov_dealer.sh
diff get_dealer.sh mov_dealer.sh

You should also explain how you assert the first one doesn't run well. Any error message ? Did you check for mails ?

this is:
Code:
 ls -l get_dealer.sh mov_dealer.sh
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root         153 Apr 28 09:42 get_dealer.sh
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root         736 Apr 25 08:27 mov_dealer.sh


I know its not working because if I do a
Code:
ls -lrt

after the time set in cron, I do not have the file, but if run it manually
Code:
# pwd
/moneta_polled01/download
root@moneta # ls -lrt
total 4
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root         736 Apr 25 08:27 mov_dealer.sh
-rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root         153 Apr 28 09:42 get_dealer.sh
root@moneta # ./get_dealer.sh

I get the file.

It may be working. Just change the the directory to someplace you know and then do the ftp in your script. It may that the cron is placing the file someplace else. Do check the root directory or better try and run the find for the file that you want.

Hi

I did a
Code:
find / -type f -name Shipment.csv -print

and I found the file in
Code:
/

. But how come is there, because I am running it from
Code:
30 10 * * * /moneta_polled01/download/./get_dealer.sh

therefore from
Code:
/moneta_polled01/download

directory!!!

Its not "you" that run the script. Its the cron daemon that runs it. And the cwd of the cron daemon is the root directory, unless you change it in your script. In your script you are not changing the directory and hence the file is in /.

It doesnt matter where your script is, what matters is that where you are running the script from.

So better change the directory at the start of your script.
