Hi,
I have crontab which initiates the shell called call.sh.
My call.sh is :
var=`ls -ltr |grep ^-|tr -s " "|cut -d " " -f9|grep ^INP|sort`
echo $var
here when i run a crontab am getting the error
call.sh . INP not found.
I think the usage of grep ^ is having some problem while using in crontab.
can ne 1 pls help me..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
What are you trying to achieve through that 'grep' command? Are you filtering out '-' characters and "INP" characters? If so, try 'grep -v'.
Your code would be like this:
`ls -ltr |grep -v '-'|tr -s " "|cut -d " " -f9|grep -v 'INP'|sort`
