script will run from command line but not cron 2

[siswjh]

I have a script that zips files. When i run it from the command line it works fine. When I put it in the cron it dosen't work. This is the error from cron that is sent to the root mailbox.

Your "cron" job on detroit
/export/home/siswjh/korn/zipthis

produced the following output:

zip warning: name not matched: dskusage

zip error: Nothing to do! (korn.zip)
zip warning: name not matched: freespace

zip error: Nothing to do! (korn.zip)
zip warning: name not matched: ftpD

zip error: Nothing to do! (korn.zip)
zip warning: name not matched: ftpacbs

zip warning: name not matched: moveas400

zip error: Nothing to do! (korn.zip)
zip warning: name not matched: performance

zip error: Nothing to do! (korn.zip)

This is the script.

#!/bin/ksh
HOME="/export/home/siswjh/korn"
AHOME="/export/home/siswjh/ftp"
filesndir=$(ls -l $HOME|nawk '{print $9}'|grep -v "ftppmag"|grep -v "zipthis&quot
for lines in $filesndir
do
zip korn $lines
done
Does anyone have any clues.
Thanks
Jesse

When you run from the command line you have the environment in your .profile or .cshrc, when you run in cron you need to call your environment explictly

in the .sh I set my values
#!/bin/ksh
. /usr/local/bin/BIG2set
MIPPY_PATH=/applmgr/mippy
/oracle/product/734/bin/sqlplus mippy/mippy @MIPPY_PATH/mthendval.sql


/usr/local/bin/BIG2set is the file that sets my environment I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Add /export/home/siswjh/korn to your set path in the ROOT .cshrc/.profile which ever you are using. Where you run the script you are logged in a the user with that path in the .cshrc.
