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)?
