Crontab script failing
Hello,

A crontab script is failiing everyday but when we execute manually it runs fine

Below is the script scheduled:

Code:
00 23 * * * sh /db2backup/scripts/db2_hot_backup.ksh TRAVFF > /dev/null 2>&1

Error:

Code:
cat TRAVFF_online_04022014_2300.log
Started : Wed Apr  2 23:00:00 EDT 2014
SQL10007N Message "-1390" could not be retrieved.  Reason code: "3".
SQL10007N Message "-1390" could not be retrieved.  Reason code: "3".
SQL10007N Message "-1390" could not be retrieved.  Reason code: "3".
Completed : Wed Apr  2 23:00:00 EDT 2014


Below is the error code information from db2 manual:

Code:
The requested message <msgno> could not be retrieved from the message
file. Reason code <code> is one of the following:
3. The message file could not be found. Either the file does not exist,
   or the directory the message file should be in does not exist. Check
   that either a default directory or a directory with the same name as
   the 'LANG' environment variable exists under the message directory.

Please assist.

Best regards,
Vishal

I asked you already not to ask everything in the AIX forum just because you use an AIX box. You often have more generic questions than AIX specific. You already got a reminder for this.
Also start using the search function because cron/crontab questions are asked very often and there is also a tutorial/guide for them on the forum which you can find here:
cron and crontab

And please use code tags also for technical text like the error message you posted.

Like the venerable zaxxon already said: you are most likely falling for

Cron Error Number One

search for that in these forums and you eventually find one or the other million of hits.

I hope this helps.
