Hi Sundar,

Glad to know that your issue is resolved, but I am curious why does it matter?

Thanks
Mayen

Hi All,
changing sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF to "$ORACLE_HOME"/bin/sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF did the trick. Many Thanks for all your help. I am very happy to be part of this list. I was making sure that i set my environment right but never thought that the complete path of using sqlplus would do the trick. I will include the complete path of sqlplus from now on. Good learning.

Just to see what is happening, please do the following:

1. modify the cron entry to 40 15 * * * /app/oracle/sm/test.sh invest1 > > <full_path>/<name>.log 2>&1
2. add set -x at the top of the script (right after #!/bin/bash), this will set debug mode.

then post all the logs.

cheers

Hi All,
Thanks for the response. Here is the complete script. I did set the oracle_sid and oracle_home. There are no error messages. The spool file does not get created. If i run it from command prompt, i am able to get the spool file created. I tested this on 11gse1(linux) as well as 10gr2 EE(AIX). Also i tested this on a open database and even it does not create the file. So this has nothing to do with the status of the database. Can someone try it out for me and let me know if you are facing the same issue. I have all permissions to write/create files on the directory.

This is how my cronjob looks: 40 15 * * * /app/oracle/sm/test.sh invest1

#!/bin/bash
#sqplus will return last archive log applied result to the screen if manually run

SCRIPT_DIR=/u01/app/oracle/admin/escenic/standby FULL_LOG_NAME=${SCRIPT_DIR}/test.log

export TARGET_SID="$1"
export TARGET_SID=`echo ${TARGET_SID} | sed -e 's/ //g'`
export TARGET_SID=`cat /etc/oratab | grep -i "${TARGET_SID}:"  | grep -v 

"^#" | cut -d : -f 1`
export ORACLE_SID=${TARGET_SID}
export ORACLE_HOME=`cat /etc/oratab | grep ${TARGET_SID}: | grep -v "^#" | cut -d : -f 2`

echo "OS->${ORACLE_SID} OH->${ORACLE_HOME}" >> ${FULL_LOG_NAME} cd ${SCRIPT_DIR}
echo "PWD"`pwd` >> ${FULL_LOG_NAME}
echo "" >> ${FULL_LOG_NAME}

sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF
set head off
connect / as sysdba
spool abcd.log
select max(sequence#) max_seq from v\$log_history; spool off
quit
EOF cat test.log

latest archive log applied on standby (in mount state) to apply the archive logs from primary with a cron job shell script. When i query "select max(sequence#) from v\$log_history;" from a shell script it works. But if i set it up as cron job as below, it does not work. I cannot assign the output to a shell variable since the database is not open and it would crap out. Any other suggestions? And the reason for this behaviour? Thanks a lot in advance.
