script expression not running in cronjob
 
hi,


ex. ctot=`expr $ctota + $zar`

echo $ctot

when I puts this in script and fired manually gives output but not when executed as a cronjob.

A cron job will not print the output on the screen. You have to redirect the output to a file.

Actually

when I schedules this in cronjob as it should mail the value of variable it does not give any value.

However it mails the value when fired manually.

ex.

tot=890

echo $tot |mailx -s total mailid@domain.com

will mail, blank when added to script and scheduled to cronjob.
