More scripting & crontabs

[Igaduma]

Hi all,

I've got a script which uses the Korn shell,
but when running it periodically from the crontab as a root-job it seems to pick up the sh instead of the ksh.
I ofcourse started the script with !/usr/bin/ksh but that seems to be not working.

When running the script from a sh shell it does use the ksh for executing the script.

It seems a bit odd that you can't use ksh for it.
It works allright as an atjob from root.

Any help....welcome!

The first line should be:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

It looks like a comment but it's not.

Hi,
solved it, the script extracted the date from the simple /usr/bin/date command, but since cron uses its own LC_TIME had to specifiy the format date outputs.

Ta!
