We are Suse9,Z/VM 5.2 shop. I'm having a small problem and am wondering if someone can help me out. I've written / integrated some scripts to bring down DB2,WAS,CM, then backup/zip the files up ,and restart the systems. All the scripts work fine separately and together if I'm am logged on as root, but if I submit the same script using crontab everything BUT the startup works. What happens is the system looks as if everything is up(per the task count) but we are unable to log on to our DB using WAS. All we then do is su into root run the startup procedure and everything works. All the proper calls /paths are in the scripts and I have even placed roots' path in the path stmt in /etc/crontab. I'm really at a loss. thanks Larry
