Hello. We put the a following script file - yixin.sh in the crontab. After crontab running, new folders have been build but no files downloaded in those folders. If we run the script manually, the files could be downloaded in these folders. yixin.sh "mkdir /home/dj/share/yixin/`date +%Y%m%d` cd /home/dj/share/yixin/`date +%Y%m%d` export nb=`date +%Y%m%d` export URL=" ftp://starfish.mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/pub/ocean/btoulany/GoMOOS/products" curl -g $URL/run-$nb\00.tar.gz -o run-$nb\00.tar.gz tar -zxvf run-$nb\00.tar.gz rm *tar.gz -rf " Here is our crontab file. 01 09 * * * /home/wam/yixin.sh Thanks in advance. yixin -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
