Hello I'm new to this forum and need help running a script out of the cron using ontape. I get an error back of 'initgls'. I have been told this has something to do with the environmental variables but all the variables are defined in the script. The INFORMIXDIR, ONCONFIG, PATH and HOME setting are correct but the script won't run. However the script will run from the command line and it works fine. I am using Informix Dynamic Server 7.3.1 with a SunOS system. Any help is welcome. John Visicaro

The INFORMIXDIR, ONCONFIG, PATH and HOME setting are have you set INFORMIXSERVER ? ontape works with the following environment: $ export INFORMIXDIR=.... $ export INFORMIXSERVER=... $ export ONCONFIG=.... $ export PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin $ ontape ..... regards Markus > correct but the script won't run. > However the script will run from the command line and it works fine. > I am using Informix Dynamic Server 7.3.1 with a SunOS system.
