Hi Everyone, I had an urgent problem here... Supposedly I create the following script:- ============================================ #!/usr/bin/ksh let curday=`date +%d` echo $curday ============================================ Running the above script at the unix prompt is alright but when i schedule it to run in cronjobs, there will always be an error message "let : not found" I actually tried applying different paths on the above but still failed! I am running Solaris 8 on this server. Help appreciated!!!

what shell does the user who runs this cron job have? If it's root, then root has bourne shell where "let" is not recognised. Try running it as a regular user through cron

Help... I tried with a regular user instead of root but still failed.... why is that it always prompt me for this problem "let: not found"???? Help deeply appreciated

Hello, It is down to the shell, it appears to not recognising you are trying to run it under the korn shell. The line #!/usr/bin/ksh is it the very first line of the program? If not then it will not force your shell into korn shell (ksh). You must have no comments nor blank lines before it. Thanks, Anthony.
