Cron Job not working

[mehtalalit]

Hi,

I have the following jobs configured to run every 15 minutes
0,15,30,45 * * * * . /home/decimal/sms_engine/OutSmsProcessor.sh
0,15,30,45 * * * * . /home/decimal/sms_engine/InSmsProcessor.sh

when i run these commands from command line they run fine and processing happens as expected. The cron log shows that these jobs are running fine

command tail /var/log/cron shows the following

Oct 29 03:45:01 services crond[7416]: (decimal) CMD (. /home/decimal/sms_engine/InSmsProcessor.sh)
Oct 29 03:45:01 services crond[7419]: (decimal) CMD (. /home/decimal/sms_engine/OutSmsProcessor.sh)

In spite of this no processing is being done by the program.

Could someone please help

Thanks a ton in advance.

I would try changing how the script is executed from the crontab; specifically, for a shell script I would change the period to "sh" like the following example:

sh /path/to/script.sh

Thanks Don. I have tried "sh" as well as "bash". This doesn't seem to help. My script looks like this
_______________
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/decimal/sms_engine/
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/decimal/sms_engine/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar:/home/decimal/sms_engine/
java -Xms64m -Xmx64m -Xss512k OutSmsProcessor
______________

and crontab entry is

*/15 * * * * sh /home/decimal/sms_engine/OutSmsProcessor.sh

Any more thoughts??

I would check with the software vendor that created the custom script or Java application within the "sms_engine" directory; they may be more familiar with the specific configuration requirements and symptoms involved relating to their product.
