Running Shell Script in Crontab

[johnnyasterisk]

Hey guys...


I have a shell script in a directory /home/mydir called getfiles.sh i want to run it every night however my problem is the file needs to run in its own directory because it needs to access stuff in there. Is there a way I can tell crontab to move into this directory before running the script?

I know I could rewrite my script to use the full path, just wondering if above is possible.

Something like this:

00 00 * * * cd /home/mydir ; ./getfiles.sh > getfiles.out 2>&1
