Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SQLPLUS with cronjob is giving problem
Sami,
You need to set your Oracle Home inside your shell script before you run SqlPlus. Cron runs as a syetm user, not as your local Oracle user - the user you log in with.
You could simple add . $HOME/.profile right before your sqlplus statement, or set your ORACLE_HOME environmental. Type ENV at the comand line to see what the Oracle environmental variables are set to.
Godd Luck!

Hi List
I am trying to automate "Number of Oracle Connections" using cronjob.
$ crontab -l
0 8 * * *
/export/home/oracle/scripts/dba/.Schedulejobs/xyz_conn_monitor.sh
> /tmp/xyz_conn_monitor.lst 2>&1
$ cat xyz_conn_monitor.sh
/u02/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/sqlplus
user1/welcome1_at_xyz
@/export/home/oracle/scripts/dba/.Schedulejobs/xyz_conn_monitor.sql
$ cat xyz_conn_monitor.lst
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
But if run
/export/home/oracle/scripts/dba/.Schedulejobs/xyz_conn_monitor.sh
in unix $ prompt, it is running fine.
Could someone help me to resolve the same?
Thanks in advance
Sami
