20 8 * * * su - oracle -c '/<path of the script>/<name of the script>' > /dev/null 2>&1 which means that the script will run at 8:30 every morning on all days of the week.

I would suggest that you need to set up some environment variables in the script. Export your ORACLE_HOME in the script and add the following to your path variable export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin HTH Lee -----Original Message----- Sent: 28 November 2001 11:00 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Guys, I have a Unix shell script that runs and does some things with sqlplus. The script runs fine when I start it up manually just using the command $ host_startup.sh However, If I try to start this host_startup.sh from the Crontab I get this error logged in my mail. >From apt2 Wed Nov 28 08:15:01 2001 Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 08:15:01 GMT Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: apt2 Content-Length: 143 Your "cron" job on phys-ki-sun4k2 /ki-sun4k2/export/home/apt2/ta_web/host/host_startup.sh produced the following output: sqlplus: Command not found Any ideas?
