(What everybody else said plus)

If you have root access (or get your sa to), vi /var/cron/log and look for your job.

Under some situations cron will mail you a message and/or job output to you, so check your unix mail.

The script template below should work (change as required). It's very very basic but should do the job. Don't forget to make the script executable with "chmod +x backup.ksh":

#!/bin/ksh
#
# Name: backup.ksh
#

DAYTIME=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M")
JOB_LOG=/tmp/backup.log.${DAYTIME}
exec 1>${JOB_LOG} 2>&1
echo "#\n#Starting ${0##*/} at $(date)\n#" export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/apps/oracle/8.1.5 export ORACLE_SID=MYDB
export PATH=${PATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin
sqlplus /nolog <<EOF
  connect system/manager
  @/path/to/my/script/first_script.sql
  @/path/to/my/script/second_script.sql
  exit;
EOF
echo "#\n#Ending ${0##*/} at $(date)\n#" mailx -s "${0##*/}:$(uname -n):${ORACLE_SID}:$(date)" my_email_address_at_mycompany.com < ${JOB_LOG}

Hi All,

04 17 * * 1-5 /opt/qqad/sql/QQAD_backupscript.sh and here is the QQAD_backupscript.sh (in /opt/qqad/sql)

sqlplus system/manager_at_QQAD @COLD_BAKUP_FOR_QQADha.SQL; cold_back.sql is
generated by COLD_BAKUP_FOR_QQADha.SQL
