Re: crontab script problem

Rajesh,

Instead of running the .profile for the oracle user, you might try invoking the oracle user. I don't think you're seeing the $ORACLE_HOME. Try something like:

        su - oracle "-c sqlplus -s"<<END
        system/manager
        END   
        @/oracle/test2.sql

Hope this helps.
