OT: crontab arguments question
I need to pass an argument to my program from the crontab entry
Problem: the first argument is taken by an environmental script
Question: how do I provide for this?
Example:
55 13 * * * su - oracle -c /apps/oracle/ppdb_scripts/SidTest/willi.sh ppdb
the su - oracle -c is required to set certain environmental variable
or nothing works
the ppdb is the SID the the su - oracle eats up on the way through,
and I need to send another ppdb to my program
something like ...
55 13 * * * su - oracle -c /apps/oracle/ppdb_scripts/SidTest/willi.sh
ppdb ppdb
... except that doesn't work ...
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer
Regards
Fred James
