Oracle OS Watcher not running with cron scheduler
Hi team,

O.S : Oracle Linux

Issue : I am facing issue when running OS watcher script from cron scheduler. But when i run the same command manually, its getting executed.

Note : I have to press " Enter " button to get out of the blank screen when I execute the script manually.

Below is the script.
Code:
ps -ef | grep OS | grep -v grep || cd /home/madhu/oswbb;nohup ./startOSWbb.sh 60 12 gzip /oradata/oswatcher_archive  &

Please help me to solve this.

Thanks,
Madhusudan

If what I see here works when you execute it but not when scheduled in cron, I would immediately think : With what account?...
What in your environment cron is missing to execute startOSWbb.sh ????
