Hi Jon I'm logging on with oracle user which is UID 501. It seems to start the cron job with the root user, but I don't know why. For example I make this little test:
8 51 * * * /bin/ls -als I receive a message with the result. The listing was the root folder of my oracle user (/home/oracle), but the e-mail was still sent by user root. I did the same test on my Solaris, the result was the same except the mail was sent by user oracle. Any other hints?

My test show that the script is run under the logged in user. Are you sure that you are not user root when you issue the 'crontab -e' command? It is not the case that it is the current working directory that decides what crontab file you're using. Try an 'id' command. -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
