So... the last thing that is comming to my mind is using expect script... Do You have binary called except? What's output for following?
Code:
which expect

Not except. Expect. Ok, I did a typo in my post Smilie although command is OK. Did You do typo too? Smilie
Once again proper command:
Code:
which expect

do you have any idea of what we can do? any alternative to crontab?

i have asked the supplier to provide me with the c-script equivalent, i am afraid though, he will not give it to me since it is not open source.

kindly advise,

regards

hi,

i have finally been able to go to the exact directory where the dump file is and can extract it directly from there.

problem is the file is in .dmp.Z and we need it in .txt.

is there a way to convert it?
