Well, there you go, sqlplus not found.

That means PATH was not modified to contain $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

Most likely cause is that you didn't run '. oraenv'.

A quick look at your script, and sure enough, you set:
export ORACLE_SID=SPIPRD
export ORAENV_ASK=NO

But you neglect to actually call '. oraenv' to setup the correct environment.

Try adding:
. oraenv

immediately following:
export ORAENV_ASK=NO

in your script.


That ought to do it,

It is there:

[oraprd@findb01kt ~]$ cd /home/oraprd/scripts/logs
[oraprd@findb01kt logs]$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r--  1 oraprd dba 199 Feb 25 09:40 spi_schema_stats.log

Does /home/oraprd/scripts/logs/spi_schema_stats.log exist?

Is there anything written to it?

Can you post the contents?

Tom,
You were right: it was missing +x, so after chmod +x test_schema_stats.sh I 
have the following:

[oraprd@findb01kt scripts]$ cd /home/oraprd/scripts/
[oraprd@findb01kt scripts]$ ls -l
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  2 oraprd dba 4096 Feb 11 08:37 logs
-rwxr-xr-x  1 oraprd dba  516 Feb 25 08:59 test_schema_stats.sh

Here is the script:

#!/bin/ksh
USER=SYSTEM
PASSWORD=test
export ORACLE_SID=SPIPRD
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
sqlplus -s $USER/$PASSWORD <<EOF
set feed off
set head off
set pagesize 0
exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('TEST',ESTIMATE_PERCENT=>30,CASCADE=>TRUE)
exit;
EOF

Here is the cron:

40 9 * * * /home/oraprd/scripts/spi_schema_stats.sh  >> 
/home/oraprd/scripts/logs/spi_schema_stats.log 2>&1

Still won't fire from cron, but runs as $sh test_schema_stats.sh

Eugene,

Your cron says:
00 01 * * 7 /home/oraprd/scripts/test_schema_stats.sh

You run it from the command line as:
$sh test_schema_stats.sh

There is a difference there.  Have you set the executable bit on the file?

chmod +x test_schema_stats.sh

And you are absolutely sure that it exists in the named directory.

One other option:  Your cron entry could be:

00 01 * * 7 sh /home/oraprd/scripts/test_schema_stats.sh

I do not prefer to run it this way as I use korn shell for all my scripting.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Yes, I could use dbms_job, but I am trying to learn to use cron.

I've implemented all the suggestions, but ... the script still wouldn't fire 
from cron.
It runs just fine if I do: $sh test_schema_stats.sh.
I will spend some more time trying to figure it out.

If this is the actual script, why not use dbms_job (< 10g) or
dbms_scheduler (> 10g)?
