I'm running SUSE 10.3 and learning to use Linux and have created a script that talks to our Mainframe DASD boxes using DSCLI commands and also some AWK scripts, which basically checks the status of our boxes. I need to automate this process and I am trying to use CRON, but nothing happens at the time I specify for the script to run. I have added it to the CRONTAB and I even see the command get kicked off at the time I specified in the log, but nothing happens. For a test I created a script that does an echo and creates the echo in a file. I then set CRON up to kick this script off at a certain time and it works fine. By doing this I feel that I have set CRON up correctly, but I can't figure out why my DASD script doesn't work. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong I'm open to them.

Thanks,
Rick
