    Hi,

    I have a script which is used to take export backup of one table ,
    it is working when I execute at command prompt

    $./bkup.ksh

    but when I put in crontab, it is not running.so I am checking
    error in mail that it is not able to find exp.

    below is my shell script.

    My Backup script is bkup.ksh

    $more bkup.ksh

    #!/bin/ksh
    cd /export/home/ibbusr1
    dumpfile=rbswrd1-`date '+%d%m%Y'`.dmp
    logfile=rbswrd1-`date '+%d%m%Y'`.log
    exp ibba/password@rbswrd1 file=/export/home/ibbusr1/$dumpfile tables='credit_limit' log=/export/home/ibbusr1/$logfile


    My cronjob entry is

    $cronjob -l

    0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /export/home/ibbusr1/bkup.ksh

    In my mail

    $mail

    Your "cron" job on ccdev3
    /export/home/ibbusr1/bkup.ksh

    produced the following output:

    /export/home/ibbusr1/bkup.ksh[7]: exp: not found


    Thanks in advance.

    Paresh.

    Hi,
    cron does not setup the environment by default.
    You have to set the PATH etc in bkup.ksh or execute the .profile file from bkup.ksh script.

    Hi paresh

    In your bkup.ksh you have to specify Oracle Home ,LD_LIB path and so on.Post your bkup.sh script here .we will be able to trouble shoot it better.

    regards
