cronjob bash script called within another shell script not working
I have a shell script which calls a bash script within it. when I run this shell script manually it works fine however when I schedule this thru cronjob, the bash script is not doing the intended job.
shell script is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/sh
SHDIR=/oracle/CMC/scripts/utils/SCTempConst
export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME SHDIR TIMESTMP DATESTAMP
cd $SHDIR
TO=<actual email address>
BCC=<actual email address>
if [ -f /oracle/CMC/scripts/utils/SCTempConst/SCTempConst.xlsx ]
then
SUBJECT="Subject ...."
ATTCH=SCTempConst.xlsx
export TO BCC SUBJECT ATTCH SHDIR
./BNSendMail.sh
fi
the BNSendmail is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
cd ${SHDIR}
FROM="<from email id>"
boundary="ZZ_/afg6432dfgkl.94531q"
body=`cat msg.txt`
# Build headers
{
printf '%sn' "From: $FROM
To: $TO
Cc: $CC
Bcc: $BCC
Subject: $SUBJECT
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="$boundary"
--${boundary}
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline
$body
"
mimetype1=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
printf '%sn' "--${boundary}
Content-Type: $mimetype1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="${ATTCH}"
"
base64 "${SHDIR}/${ATTCH}"
echo
# print last boundary with closing --
printf '%sn' "--${boundary}--"
} | sendmail -t -oi
As I said this is working perfectly fine when execute manually.
only when I set this as a cronjob, its not emailing.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
