Hi,

Did you setup the shell environment for the user? For example the PATH setting.

[sujit kumar singh]

hi and also which normal user is able to excute that complete command successfully from the command line.

Hope that u are not using the root user to execute those commands.

There is 6 command line.I have try run all the command manually and works.

1) /home/express/BIN/sweep2.sh /home/express/EDI/BAPLIE/MSK/IN/RECEIVAL /home/express/BIN/edi_load_post.sh BAPIN_MSK
2)/home/express/BIN/sweep2.sh /home/express/EDI/BAPLIE/APL/IN/RECEIVAL /home/express/BIN/edi_load_post.sh BAPIN_APL
3)/home/express/BIN/edi_session.sh CODECO_MSK
4)/home/express/BIN/edi_session.sh CODECO_APL
5)/home/express/BIN/edi_session.sh COARRI_MSK
6)/home/express/BIN/edi_session.sh COARRI_APL

[AMIR-APM]

i'm using "express" user to execute the command.From the log show u the details.

In cron.allow i also added user express to execute the cronjob

[sujit kumar singh]

hi


make an entry in the crontab file using the command #crontab -e
and put the following line in there as follows:


0,30 * * * * su - express -c "/home/express/BIN/edi_session.sh CODECO_APL"


try running cron with this entry
and make sure that in the profile of "express" user u have the path added to
/home/express/BIN.
add this path in the pofile of the express user as

PATH=$PATH:/home/express/BIN
export PATH

sujit

Hi,
