?
We dont have enough information to help you... what errors are you getting? What's in the cron logs?
But first of all does this script (run.sh) run correctly when you execute it?
What should we understand from this line:
Code:
echo " $EXPORTDATE "sh /path/to/file//file.sh $EXPORTDATE

Hi Vbe,

echo " $EXPORTDATE "sh /path/to/file//file.sh $EXPORTDATE
i corrected this line in the above script it was my mistake when i did ctrl+v
all the scripts in the run.sh executed perfectly when ran manually.

What is your OS?
You should have a look in the cron logs to see what is going on... Because the most obvious sh may be something you have in your environment that cron is not aware of...
