Dear Managers
My original question was that I had a script file which would backup an Oracle file system overnight. The script
would would run perfectly well interactively, but not when submitted it as a cron job.
sample script
#!/bin/sh
LOG=/site/logs/oracle.log
export LOG
# vdump Oracle file system to default tape device
vdump -0uN /u01 >> $LOG 2>&1
vdump -0u /u01 >> $LOG 2>&1
etc.....
Basically in the script, I had not include the full path for the "vdump" command e.g. /sbin/vdump and so it did not
perform a vdump on the file system, but continued to execute the rest of the script quite happily. When I ran the
script interactively I had /sbin in the path.
Thanks to the following people for pointing out the problem :-
