Gurus;
It has been my impression for some time now that any scripts written to
be CRONned has to be sh shell scripts, like so;
#!/bin/sh
If the script is based on a shell other than sh, e.g. C shell or Korn
shell, then the appropriate CRON entry should be
* * * * * /usr/bin/ksh <Korn shell script>
or
* * * * * /usr/bin/csh <C shell script>
and not simply
* * * * * <Korn shell script>
or
* * * * * <C shell script>
This is because the CRON daemon simply shells the scripts using sh and
does not actually fork a seperate shell script process to run the script.
Am I mistaken??
Warmest Regards
