Cron entry not running
Hi

I have one entry in my crontab that do not run, in cron, but it runs manually:
Code:
53 7 * * * /moneta_polled01/download/./get_dealer.sh
55 7 * * * /moneta_polled01/download/./mov_dealer.sh

The first entry do not run automatically, but it runs manually.
The second entry runs automatically.

What could be wrong?

It maybe because of the PATH variable not getting loaded.
Try giving the full paths to your commands instead of just the commds.Like, instead of just giving echo give
Code:
/bin/echo

Try giving the full path to all your commands

Sorry I dont understand, do you mean
Code:
/usr/bin/ftp

and
Code:
/usr/bin/cd

, and
Code:
/usr/bin/get

?

the script has the following:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

HOST=10.100.48.41
USER=ftp_fr
PASSWD=123456789

ftp -nv $HOST <<EOF
user $USER $PASSWD
cd Ordens
binary
get Shipment.csv
bye
EOF

Just give it for ftp. The rest are ftp commands.

did not work, I have changed to
Code:
/usr/bin/ftp -nv $HOST <<EOF

and change crontab entry time as well:

Code:
50 8 * * * /moneta_polled01/download/./get_dealer.sh

How come it runs well on the second entry, but not the first one?

Code:
30 10 * * * /moneta_polled01/download/./get_dealer.sh
55 7 * * * /moneta_polled01/download/./mov_dealer.sh
