    Could any one please help me find out what could be the reason for that? Is there any environment variable which i should check?

    Any help will be highy appriciated....

    With Regards,
    Yogi

    Look for a /var/log/cron. If it's there have the administrator look for entries for your username, usually only root can look at that file. That may help in determining what's wrong.

    User password expired

    Look if the user's password owner of crontab is expired. Change it.
    Restar the crontab service.
