If your job/script works outside of a crontab but fails for whatever reason when run from crontab, it typically means that some component of your regular environment is missing or incorrect. The most common is probably an incorrect PATH.

Thanks,

Where did you set your PATH? Please provide samples/examples..

(uuencode /rep/p31100/users/repP3ap/rabindra/TransfersReport/CancelPending/$filename1  /rep/p31100/users/repP3ap/rabindra/Tran
sfersReport/CancelPending/$filename1 ; cat $cspath/pendingbody.txt)| mailx -m -s "Cancelled and Pending status Report"  "${CLI
ST%,}"

uuencode does not have a path for example, nor mailx etc.. You need to provide the PATH somehow.. Do a search or read the FAQ

can you please clear me more to avoid this issue

Do not 'bump up' questions if they are not answered promptly.

What Scrutinizer meant is to use absolute path for utilities uuencode and mailx

Get absolute path using which command:

which uuencode
which mailx

Replace absolute path in your script.

If this does not help, set xtrace and verbose and redirect script output to another file to debug what is going on:

* * * * * /path/script.sh > /path/debug.log

(/usr/bin/uuencode 04-04-2013.csv.gz 04-04-2013.csv.gz )| mailx -m -s �Cancelled/Pending report� jewel@xyz.com
