Being it works manually and doesn't work from cron I would think its an environment issue. Cron gives you a minimum environment.

WK is trying to be funny. MPE/iX has a stream command which is like batch(1).

Hi ramana,

I feel you have to give full path for stream command in crontab file .

You can get Path for stream command from following command

#whereis stream

[Ramana.Sv]

Hi pls look it into below

India # whereis stream
stream: /usr/share/man/man2.Z/stream.2



iam using to stream the Listener command

files name vi test.sh in that files i use like this.

stream /usr/sbdc/jobs/listener31611


in cron tab iam using like this

15 5 * * * sh /hai/test.sh

so it geving error

[Dennis Handly]

># whereis stream
stream: /usr/share/man/man2.Z/stream.2

This means it can't find it.

>when i run this file manually its working fine, why?????

Most likely as Dave and Gaurav said, you must use absolute paths in your crontab because cron doesn't use your .profile. Or you must augment your $PATH.

If you run it manually and it works, try using:
# whence -v stream

If that doesn't find it, add that just before you invoke it in test.sh.

>stream /usr/sbdc/jobs/listener31611

The syntax above says that stream is a command, function or alias and the next parm is a file or some such string.

Dennis: The SEDC suite of software includes many MPE emulations, including one of the MPE "STREAM" command that uses, at its heart, at(1) instead of batch or cron. :)
