Okay folks, one of my developers is having some FTP issues. He has some
scripts that he has placed in oracle's cronttab. His procedure works fine
when he runs things from the command line, but when he places them in cron,
it doesn't work. For the life of me, I can't figure out what is happening.
any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Jim
Here are the scripts: (btw, x.x.x.x represents the ip address we are
connecting to, and username and password represents the username and
password of the user)
runftp script:
rm -f /u/wynncommupdates/wynncomupdate.log
date > /u/wynncommupdates/wynncomupdate.log
sh /u/wynncommupdates/ftpscript.sh >> /u/wynncommupdates/wynncomupdate.log
#sleep 10
#mailx -s "Wynncomm FTP Update Log" markpr2@walkerassoc.com <
/u/wynncommupdates/wynncomupdate.log
mailx -s "Wynncomm FTP Update Log" dba@walkerassoc.com <
/u/wynncommupdates/wynncomupdate.log
mailx -s "FTP Log" jimla@walkerassoc.com <
/u/wynncommupdates/wynncomupdate.log
ftpscript.sh script:
