Hi Arun

Yes, it is fine.

No need to change.

Hi,

Yes, you need to put it in the right user's crontab. Also please note that both the programs (startsap & stopsap) starts on 4AM and 6AM respectively. I am asuming "stopsap" is the program to stop "startsap"

Good Luck

The script seems to be fine

Also you could redirect the output to some file, so that in case if the script doesnt run fine, its easy to troubleshoot

0 4 * * 0 /usr/sap/POP/SYS/exe/run/startsap > /tmp/startsap.out
0 6 * * 0 /usr/sap/POP/SYS/exe/run/stopsap > /tmp/stopsap.out

Also give a small thought..
In case if the stopsap doesn't stop due to some reasons. Then there would be multiple instance of sap running

If startsap script pop up that SAP is already running then the above script is fine.

HI,
0 4 * * 0 /usr/sap/POP/SYS/exe/run/startsap > /tmp/startsap.out
0 6 * * 0 /usr/sap/POP/SYS/exe/run/stopsap > /tmp/stopsap.out

yes its looks fine One thing I wana to tell give 2 >> instead 1 this will track a record of your SAP start and stop log

0 4 * * 0 /usr/sap/POP/SYS/exe/run/startsap >> /tmp/startsap.out
0 6 * * 0 /usr/sap/POP/SYS/exe/run/stopsap >> /tmp/stopsap.out
