Crontab script
 

Schedule a script "removelogs" in a CRON job. We have to make this a script and run with the full path

Also please make sure to source the environment before running this.

Not sure what sourcing means and how to achieve it.
TO run the script manually it needs to be run as
". ./removelogs" from its directory.

Adding the ERROR from mailer spool
../pkms.env is missing. Please run cron_removelogs from the scripts dir

Where cron_removelogs = FIle which invokes the script:
cat cron_removelogs
#!/bin/sh

. /home/admin/.bash_profile

# Source the Environment
redit

# Run the removelogscores script
. /<path to actual script>/removelogs


And the path for alias "redit" is mentinoed in /home/admin/.bash_profile

1. show us what you've got so far
2. use code tags https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...do=bbcode#code
3. sourceing means pulling code into the current env either by using
You will need to supply a path prefix to somefile so the dot or source cmd can find it.

In simple words, sourcing means to load or set what is mentioned in specified file line-by-line. So,
... means that read the file removelogs line-by-line and load or set everything mentioned in it, in your working shell environment.

Similarly,
... means that read the file .bash_profile line-by-line and load or set everything mentioned in it, in your working shell environment.

I suppose, your script (which has to be scheduled in cron) is cron_removelogs, not removelogs file.

Anyway, let's know what problem you're facing?
