Hi All I am trying to schedule cron to run a script. The script is in my home dire= ctory and so I added my home directory to the path file in /etc/crontab bel= ow. PATH=3D/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin:/= home:/home/me This is the crontab entry for the scheduled task below. 49 14 * * 1-5 root myscript.sh myscript.sh grabs a file from another directory if it is there. If not, it = says =E2=80=9Cfile not uploaded=E2=80=9D. If the file is there, it copies i= t to my home directory, strips email addresses out of it and uses mailx to = send emai to those users. I keep getting the error that a number of files i= n my home directory are missing but they are not.=20 Please see errors below mv: rename *.csv to listing.csv: No such file or directory grep: listing.csv: No such file or directory /home/me/ipo-script.sh: cannot open body.txt: No such file or directory mv: rename /home/me/listing.txt to /home/me/listing.txt-10-04-19-1435: No s= uch file or directory mv: rename /home/me/listing.csv to /home/me/listing.csv-10-04-19-1435: No s= uch file or directory mv: rename /home/me/listing.txt-10-04-19-1435 to /home/me/IPO-Backup-Files/= listing.txt-10-04-19-1435: No such file or directory mv: rename /home/me/listing.csv-10-04-19-1435 to /home/me/IPO-Backup-Files/= listing.csv-10-04-19-1435: No such file or directory Because I added my home directory to the path in crontab, I am at a loss to= explain why this is still happening. Anyone have any ideas? Would really a= ppreciate some help. Kind Regards SI Sent from Mail for Windows 10
