Hi Orca, thanks for the response..

- No mail generated. Checked it.

- tried running .profile in the script. It also doesn't work.

- i am explicitly dircting the cron output to a log file. That log file is generated but it is blank with size 0 bytes.

I tried running the shell script interactively under root and it works. It only doesn't work when put in cron.

Any other reason??

Sanjay
