Crontab causing problem

[baashha]

Hi,

I have a Unix Shell Script, that invokes an isql command to a Sybase Open Server. When I run it straight, it works very well. However, when I try it with a crontab, it gives me the following error:

CS-LIBRARY error:
ct_init(): network packet layer: internal net library error: Attempt to load protoco
l driver failed
Attempting to obtain a localized error message failed.

I tried to add some Sybase paths but it still gives me the same error. Is it something to do with the path?

Probably - jobs run from cron do not automatically inherit your environment. Check for other environmental settings that your user has.

One way round this is to have root's cron run a script and the script has an entry like this :-
su - user -c real_command

(substituting the correct user & command). Ayjaycee - the "A" in TandA

One by one, the penguins steal my sanity.
