cronjob not working
I created a file in /u01/oradata directory as cronjb.ksh which contains following script

30 12 * * * /export/home/oracle/u01/oradata/rman.ksh

'/export/home/oracle' is my root directory. I then moved cronjb.ksh file to my '/export/home/oracle' directory. i typed crontab cronjb.ksh. However my cronjob named cronjb.ksh does not run. I typed mail and i dont see any email. Below is my rman.ksh script. is there any command to findout why my cronjob not working?

[B]exec>/u01/oradata/bkup_$$.log 2>&1
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=SEED; export ORACLE_SID
PATH="$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin"
rman target=/<<
EOF
run{
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

'/u01//oradata/ora/%U';
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
SQL 'ALTER DATABASE OPEN';}
EXIT ;

What os are you using? Do you have root?

Did you get an error when you added the crontab?

what does
Code:
crontab -l

show?


Have you checked your local email? Cron will mail any output/errors there.

#!/bin/sh
15 12 * * * /export/home/oracle/u01/oradata/rman.ksh

Stop putting "#!/bin/sh" in your crontab files - it shouldn't be there
