Is the system under very heavy load? I assume from the original subject of the post that this is an oracle database server, and in my experience oracle tends to sit on pretty much all system resources.
One thought I had was that maybe you're running up against the number of processes limit for the user. However, I would expect a different error message in this case.

I agree with verifying the content of the file and suggest using

In addition to the above, cron is working fine only once..
for ex.. if cron is scheduled at 5am.. it is runnin and sending the mail, whereas if I make any changes in the schedule , then I have to restart the cron deamon.. then too, if the schedule is set to run every min. it is running only once..
