I have a .ksh, and it returns outputs if I run it under root manually. However, if it runs under crontab under root, it does NOT return any output. What would be the issue?

thx

More than likely because of missing environment...

You might want to try adding the lines

Code: 
. /etc/profile
. /.profile

at the top of the script.
