Do not forget that cron does not use the root environment, such as $PATH. You need to set up the exect environment you need in the beginning of the crontab file. It would be helpful to see your crontab file to know what environment it has set up.

Also the /var/log/cron log file should contain error information that might be helpful.

Hi

I have a script to resign all DNS zones every two weeks. When i run the script 
from bash, it works like it should. But
when it is executed in cron not. Its starting normal as cronjob:
Feb  1 03:00:01 xxx CROND[20116]: (root) CMD (sh 
/opt/dnssec/resign_dnssec_zones.sh)

But after i get a mail that everything is finsihed, but it isn't.
03:04:28 DNSSEC-Signierung abgeschlossen

The script deletes the old signed zones, but don't resign it. The mail is also 
sent.
Below the script.

Anybody an idea why it doesn't work in cron?^
I cannot find any error in any log.
After the first line, add a line saying: set -x

Then set cron to run it and examine the output that gets mailed to you.

The -x tells it to echo each command it is about to execute. That will help
you to see how far it is getting.

Further comments below.

Cheers
Tony

Best regards

Why not just: ZONE=${FILES%.*}

#remove the old signed zone
     rm -rf $ZONEDIR/$ZONE.signed
You deleted them all further up.

#Sign the zone
         cd $ZONEDIR
Why not do this before the loop? Then you also don't need $ZONEDIR/ everywhere.

         dnssec-signzone -o $ZONE -k $KSKDIR/K$ZONE.*.key -e +3024000 -f 
$ZONE.signed $ZONEDIR/$ZONE.zone
$ZSKDIR/K$ZONE.*.key >> $LOG

#Set the correct permissions
         chown named.named $ZONEDIR/*.signed
         chmod 755 $ZONEDIR/*.signed
         sleep 5
done
rm -rf $ZONEDIR/named.zone
