Issue while running from crontab
Hi All,

Here is my command which I've scheduled to be run from crontab, but it's giving error message: rah: rahhost executable needed but not in PATH

My cmd is-

Code:
36 10 * * * /opt/IBM/dwe/db2/V9.5/bin/rah "df -m" >> /db2home/bculinux/Files/log/db.out 2>&1

Though I've added path /opt/IBM/dwe/db2/V9.5/bin to $PATH, still no result. Any idea where is the issue might be ?

Thanks,
Naresh

Hi,

did you have a look at the crontab-FAQ of this forum (especially the last paragraph)?

you should load your environment from within your script

or in your script, just replace your

rahhost

with

Code:
/opt/IBM/dwe/db2/V9.5/bin/rahhost

Hi,

Even after giving full rah path, it's not working. How to invoke environmental path from a script?

You must have something like that :

Quote:
10 08-18 * * 1-5 $HOME/.profile >>/dev/null 2>&1;/dev/IBM... >>/dev/null 2>&1
