Sed command in a shell script 3

[aidanmoro]

I have a shell script which contains the following command

sed '1,10d' Car_Loan.txt > tmp

which copies eveything except the first 10 lines of Car_Loan.txt to tmp.

When I run the shell script from a cronjob this command does not work. I know this type of issue has been discussed on the forum before, can anyone verify why this happens

thanks in advance

Main issue in crontab is that you need to provide FULL path to files -- inside script also/or change (cd) to desired directory.

provide FULL pathnames to BOTH of your files.

..and/or provide a valid PATH variable by exporting it early within the script.

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.
