The script /usr/oracle/backup.ksh should have all environment variables such as ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH etc defined at the beginning before you start actual export. To debug the actual cause put logging in the script log date and time at the start of the script to a file and use log for export also.
Check whether oracle user has permission to schedule cron jobs.

Thanks & regards,

Dear List,

We are working with Oracle 8i Database under UnixWare Plateform.

My question is How to do Schedule Backup?

I tried to do Schedule backup but it does not work. I'll show u the steps that I did...

I wrote my batch.
cd /var/spool/cron/crontabs
crontab -e oracle it will open a text file. ----------------Oracle-------------------------
#
5 14 * * * /usr/oracle/backup.ksh 2>&1 1>/dev/null
#
cd /usr/oracle
I did write backup.ksh like this: ----------------backup.ksh-----------------
#
# This Procedure for ORACLE export
#
exp payroll/pay file=/usr/oracle/pay111102.dmp
#
exit

Any clues why this is not working ...

regards,

Ashraf
