}For example:
}
} echo $PATH >> /tmp/cron.dbg
} whence dbaccess >> /tmp/cron.dbg
} id >> /tmp/cron.dbg
} dbaccess pic xxx >> /tmp/cron.dbg
} ...and so on...
In the crontab file, cd to the directory where the script is
and then run it. i.e.(cd /usr1/home/bin; ./myfile.run)
Then if any of the programs in the script are in other directories,
make sure you either use the full path or cd to that directory.
