Re: FTP: 421 Service not available....

Could be time sensitivity on the ftp server.
Or environment dependencies in your script. cron jobs get a much smaller
set of env vars than do interactive jobs.
Try cron for 8:35 to tell for sure.
Check your scripts for env dependencies.
Post your script for further input.- Hide quoted text -

OK, so here is my script that runs from the crontab. This script calls
another one (x.putcook) also posted below:

This script used to work with HP-UX, now that we moved to a Linux
server we tried to adapted but somehow is not working the right way.
Again this is the x.autoextract script that runs from the crontab. I
ran it yesterday at 20.30 and same result, it stop at: logit "****
Problem running x_cook.4gi [$es]." So it look like the problem/error
is in the x.putcook script. The weird thing is when i run it manually
in the morning and type the date argument for the last day, runs just
fine.
If you can take a quick look at this and let me know if you find
something out of place, please let me know.

Thanks in advance
