    a cron question...

    If I run a script from roots crontab, do I have root authority?
    I'm having a strange occurence that I thought was fixed yesterday.
    I can run my combined scripts from /opt/scripts and they work everytime

    BUT

    When I put them in the crontab the first and last scrupts run(shutdown/startup) the the backup of db2 fails with:

    /opt/scripts/combine: line 23: db2: command not found
    /opt/scripts/combine: line 24: db2stop: command not found
    Here is where the backup starts
    /opt/scripts/combine: line 27: db2start: command not found
    /opt/scripts/combine: line 28: db2: command not found

    What am I missing
    thanks
    Mace

    Run the commands of your crontab and scripts with the full path.
