Proble in running shell script in cron

the syntax that i have used is

#! /bin/bash

javac Copy.java




#home/wbiadmin/JRE1.4.2/j2re1.4.2_15/bin/java Copy
/usr/bin/java Copy




this is my shell script
when i run it in terminal with command called ./runcopy.sh
it works fine



but when i run this shell script in cron it is not working.problem with java.lang


my cron is here:

1 * * /home/log/sari/./runcopy.sh


runcopy is shell script name.


help me out

Your cron entry does not need - nor want - the ./ that you use from a command line. The ./runcopy.sh simply tells the shell to run the command from "here". That needs to be done since "here" is not always in your path - and that is a good thing.

So - in the cron entry you specify the full path to the script without the ./ prefix.

1 * * /home/log/sari/runcopy.sh

Cheers

The dor may be a red herring, but it would be good to get rid of. I would further suspect that the PATH is not set up when being run via cron - you get a very basic PATH by default.

#! /bin/bash



javac CopyFile.java
/usr/bin/java CopyFile



this is my shell script.when i call this script from terminal works fine.but through cron it gives me error saying exception i think it is not able to find the files that i have imported
such as
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.io.File;

help me out

When I said PATH, I should have said your general environment!

Try putting a source (the . command) of your .profile (or .bashrc or whatever) at teh top of the script.

#!/bin/bash

CLASSPATH=.
#CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${INSTALL_PATH}home/squidlog/CopyFile.java
CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${INSTALL_PATH}usr/java/latest/lib/*.jar

javac CopyFile.java


echo "CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH"

#home/wbiadmin/JRE1.4.2/j2re1.4.2_15/bin/java CopyFile
/usr/bin/java CopyFile




i tried setting classpath still i have problem

Out of interest, where is INSTALL_PATH defined?

#! /bin/bash

CLASSPATH=.:usr/java/latest/lib/*.jar
javac CopyFile.java


echo "CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH"

#home/wbiadmin/JRE1.4.2/j2re1.4.2_15/bin/java CopyFile
/usr/bin/java CopyFile

i tried likre this but still not working

I really hate java ...
I still reckon it's your environment. Humour me? In your script, before you call the java put an env command, so your current environment is displayed. Run it by hand, then run it via cron and see what the difference is.
