Read the 'Question Guidelines' and "How to ask a smart question" links in my posting signature. Without details and a clear question, there's nothing anyone can tell you.

You say "simple script"...but don't post it. You also say it can NOT run in the shell, and also say it can not run via cron...sounds like your script is plain broken.

Post your script, details, etc., and we may be able to help.

Umm... ok. I am guessing here, since your question does not make that much sense to me, that you in fact CAN run the script "manually" in the shell, but NOT as a cron job.

Here are my suggestions:
  1. Show us your script. It is impossible to help you without seeing what you have done.
  2. 99 times out of 100, the problem with cron not "working" is that cron does not share the same $PATH as your shell. Try using full paths to any executables.
  3. Again, show us your script!

I tested the script , the "pidof slapd | xargs lsof -a -p | wc -l` -gt 1000" could not output the result when run in cron , but work fine to run manually , how to change it to make it work ?

thanks
Post the script and the post the cron job.

Just glancing that the sample code, looks like there might be a syntax error (missing semicolon) with the then keyword.

Code:
if [ `pidof slapd | xargs lsof -a -p | wc -l` -gt 1000  ] ;
then
    /etc/init.d/slapd restart
fi

Nope. You don't need a semicolon there:
Code:
$ bar=1
$ if [ $bar -eq 1 ]
> then
> echo $bar
> fi
1
