Thanks Mike for the reply. Yes, actually here is the script itself:
#!/bin/sh
tar -zpcvf /home/u1back/u1.hourly.tgz \
/var/spool/imap \
/var/imap \
/var/spool/mqueue
cd /home/u1back
ftp -n -v ntsrv1.emp-reg1.com <<EOF
user <username> <password>
cd /backups/u1
bin
put u1.hourly.tgz
quit
Like I said, this was working fine until yesterday. The script runs fine
and terminates properly when invoked manully.

Do you have the command "quit" at the end of your ftp script?
