command does not work when run in cron
|
|
|
| Hi,
I had a job which runs daily through cron and it was working fine until
few days ago.
But it is not working now, the job keeps hanging when run through cron.
when i run the command manually it runs fine. The script in the command
has not changed since many months.
What are the probable reasons which might be causing a problem.
Thanks.

The environment in cron is not necessarily the same as in your
interactive shell. (That is, it's probably not the same).
For example, PATH might be different, so if you invoke the command
without an absolute path, you may run another program or not find it
at all.
