Thanks graff,

cron is executing the script, but now i have a different problem.

I have all the scripts under /root/nfs_share/SCRIPTS folder as you can see i was trying to run a script ncp_run.tcl (which is again under SCRIPTS dir). In this ncp_run.tcl file i am socurcing some other files

source resource.conf
source init.tcl
[download]

so while corn is executing the script it is throwing error

couldn't read file "resource.conf": no such file or directory
    while executing
"source "resource.conf""
    (file "/root/nfs_share/SCRIPTS/ncp_run.tcl" line 1)
[download]

so is it something like corn is running this in some other environment. here is some of the datails:

[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# which crontab
/usr/bin/crontab
[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/s
+bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/nfs_share/SCRIPTS:/root/n
+fs_share/SCRIPTS/
[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# echo $HOME
/root
[download]

but if i run this script manually  expect -f ncp_run.tcl</it will work finep> once again thanks for helping me out in this ;-)

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
