    hi all, need help; got a bash script that connects to a remote web server,
    gathers some data, inserts them into a oracle server and logs every
    activity in a local file.

    this script, besides setting variables such as PATH and CLASSPATH
    runs a java application which works without any problem if run in shell.

    but once i try to make crond execute it periodically this script starts
    itself, but never reaches the end of the job. sincerely java application
    has no trouble in connecting to the web server and drain data, but once
    it tries to make a select on oracle it just hangs up with no error reported,
    as looking on a log file.

    i've tried to change some environment variable, with no success. after all
    if the java application executes the first steps why shouldn't it accomplish
    the others? maybe it depends on CLASSPATH but it seems to be set
    correctly with every reference mentioned as absolute, not relative...

    pls help

    salve gente, urge aiuto; ho uno script in bash che si connette a dei servers
    web remoti, scarica dati, li inserisce su un server oracle remoto e logga
    ogni attivita' in un file locale.

    lo script, oltre ad impostare variabili come PATH e CLASSPATH lancia
    un'applicazione java e funziona senza pecche se lanciato a mano sotto la
    shell.

    nel momento in cui delego crond di eseguire lo script giornalmente questo
    parte, ma non conclude il job. in realta' l'applicazione java riesce senza
    problemi a connettersi ai server remoti e scaricare dati, ma non appena
    effettua il primo select sul server oracle si blocca (almeno stando ai files
    di log) senza restituire alcun errore al crond.

    ho provato a modificare l'ambiente di crond, ma non e' servito... d'altronde
    se l'applicazione parte e riesce ad eseguire egregiamente le prime funzioni
    come mai si dovrebbe impallare solo verso la fine? ho pensato che magari
    questo dipende dalla locazione della classe invocata per le connessioni sql,
    ma la CLASSPATH e' impostata in maniera corretta... ed ogni riferimento e'
    sempre assoluto e mai relativo.

    pls help.
