hi
i have a prgrm which dumps the data extracted from the txt file to database. i want to run it using cron daily.i m using mysql as backend. when i run this program using my shell script it will run and insert data into the database. but when i give the same in cron it will not work ? what may be the reason ? i chked for the line is cron....as i hve other shell script for other progms ...they all will run but only this will not run. i hv given like this in cron : 30 12 * * * /ncm/p.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1 the shellscript will run the perl program. if i do sh p.sh then everything works fine. but if i run using cron it will not run. any ideas as to why this is happening? kavitha -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
