I'm trying to configure SELinux on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 web server that runs Apache 2.2.15 and Perl 5.10.1, and connects to remote Oracle databases. The Oracle 11.2g client is installed. The PHP scripts that access Oracle are working, but the Perl scripts are not.

Shellscript Reengineering 43 weeks 1 day ago

Dear Community,

I've an urgent issue due to a migration of an application from HP-Unix to Linux. We have a mass of scripts which are running at a dedicated server on hpunix. Now we do not know, which further scripts exists on this machine. the idea is, that we crawl through the scripts we already know and identify further scripts which are addressed in those.

But when I run the commands using a crontab file, it cannot find certain files that are installed in the server. What difference does it make when I run the scripts using cron ? The cron file is in the same directory as my python scripts.

Hey, i have a script i am trying to run through a cronjob. the problem is, for some reason it cannot be done through cron even though the script runs fine when manually run.
