Hi, When I'm using crontab to do scheduling, it never works. I notice that 1 minute after the time that I specify in the schedule, a message appear in my prompt like this: awf_web sendmail[1845]: unable to qualify my own domain name (awf_web) -- using short name Is there any parameter that I need to set up before I run the crontab? Please reply for any suggestions. Thank you. -- Best Regards, Chelsia

As mentioned in earlier postings you need to set up your whole environment in the shell script your running with crontab. INFORMIXDIR, INFORMIXSERVER, DBDATE, MAIL etc etc Yours -- Earle A Long (Senior Informix DBA) SINGLEPOINT UK LTD "chelsia" <chelsia@allworkforce.com> wrote in message news:93ea0q$shj$1@dahlia.singnet.com.sg... > Hi, > > When I'm using crontab to do scheduling, it never works. > I notice that 1 minute after the time that I specify in the schedule, a > message appear in my prompt like this: > awf_web sendmail[1845]: unable to qualify my own domain name (awf_web) -- > using short name > > Is there any parameter that I need to set up before I run the crontab? > > Please reply for any suggestions. > Thank you. > > -- > Best Regards, > Chelsia > >
