script completes 100% manually but not when scheduled

[getut]

I have a script that sends managers an email when their subordinates mailboxes are above 95% full.
It basically builds a tmp file in /tmp that contains massaged output of zmprov gqu localhost.

If I run the script AS ZIMBRA USER from the terminal it runs as expected every time including putting the contents of the temp file in the form email.

If I schedule the script as Zimbra user (crontab -e as zimbra), the script runs fine and generates the email but the contents of the temp file dont get appended.

I have tried moving the tmp files out of the tmp folder and into the same folder I am running the script from, but same results.

Could be a few things... try adding this after your #!/bin/bash

Code: Select all

source `dirname $0`/zmshutil || exit 1
zmsetvars

This will setup the environment and is how many other zimbra cron job scripts do it. You can also look in the cron logs for the exact error message.
