upgrade_export crontab automation problem

[kippo]

Hi All

I have a problem when trying to run an automated upgade_export script via crontab on SecurePlatform.

The script executes perfectly when ran from the command line, but when ran via crontab, the upgrade_export part of the script doesn’t run.


Crontab
------------------

1 0 * * * bash /home/username/upgrade_export_script


upgrade_export_script
------------------

#!/bin/sh
cd /opt/CPsuite-R60/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools/
rm *fw_export.tgz
echo | ./upgrade_export "$(date +%d-%m-%y)"_fw_export
ftp -inv < ftpuploadscript
exit 0



echo | ./upgrade_export "$(date +%d-%m-%y)"_fw_export

this line does not execute when ran via crontab

I know the script is running via crontab as the .tgz file is removed and if I add a test.txt file and do a ‘put test.txt’ line into the ftpuploadscript, this file is ftp’ed. This shows that the script is running via crontab, just not the upgrade_export procedure.

Any ideas, or is there another way of doing this?

Add . /etc/profile.d/CP.sh after #!/bin/sh (there a space between the . and the /)

It should work now ;-)
