Another issue with crontab

export ARBORDIR in your main script to wherever .arborpw is located.

What should i write can you please tell.
I have been in this issue for past 7 hours

I have no idea where that file might be. Maybe in /arbor?

ok what command should i write if its in arbor?

I already said.

export ARBORDIR
ARBORDIR=/arbor

But why? What if the file isn't there? Wouldn't it make sense for you to try to determine where it is, than just guessing, or assuming?

Yes ur right
i will ask the client.i will aks them..
This is my first time in unix.

Ok Scott.Please tell me which file to look on .How can i search it?

i ran this command
cd /arbor

it is successfull

Try:

find /arbor -name ".arborpw" 2> /dev/null

If you find it, sed ARBORDIR= to it, as shown previously. If not, ask the person who wrote the whole arbor nonsenses anyway where it is.

I just executed your command

find /arbor -name ".arborpw" 2> /dev/null

But it returned nothing.
One thing more .Can you tell me why is throwing error when i am scheduling it in the CRONTAB .It does not throw any error when i execute it manually?WHY?

Talk to whoever wrote bip.sh and ask them where the file is... or how it came to be.

Ok thanks I will ask for this file .arborpw and loction of this file.

Once i get this file i should

write this in my script

ARBORDIR=/arbor; export ARBORDIR

Am i right?

After including you code i am getting a new error

ERROR: $DB_PASS environment variable is not set

This script requires that the $DB_PASS environment variable be set.

cat: cannot open /arbor/.arborpw

Hi Scott i finally found the path of .arborpw

/arbor/integ_fx

Its content is only

more .arborpw
password_for_db

But still not working.
Can you tell what to do next?

Your concern isn't with the contents of the file... only its location.

export ARBORDIR
ARBORDIR=/arbor/integ_fx
