The response were very very helpful and fast too. I am really glad I join
this list, it definitely beat all the training.
What did I do?
1) remove the /bin/sh from the crontab file
- Yes, the 1-5 will work.
- little typo error on my side, sorry
should be
VERIFY=`tail -f /tmp/out | awk '{print $1}'`
2) in the script file, put in the full path name for the command
mt and restore. Script run from cron without path setting.
3) make sure the cronjob owner have the execute right for the file.
Step 1, 2 makes it works. Thanks guys.
