Why my mv command does not work in crontab

[sismic]

I am wondering if you guys could shed a light what was wrong on the following command.


/usr/bin/find /testcron/SessLogs -name "list.log.*" -exec /usr/bin/mv {} /testcron/SessLogs_archive \;

I try to move all list.log.* file, this command works interactively but not on cronjobs.

Any suggestion what should i do?

What message do you get from the cronjob?

I'd put the find command in a shell script file (man vi), make the script file executable (man chmod) and schedule that script in crontab instead of the command itself.


HTH,
