Thank you for all your replies. In fact, the crontab is "01 09 * * * /home/dj/yixin.sh" I checked the cron log files at /var/log/cron. No problems there as it just shows the cron files under root account. Should I write the cron files under root account instead of just under 'dj' account. The problems is that yixin.sh runs and creates folder every day but just cannot download files. If we run yixin.sh at 'dj' manually, everything is ok. And I can run curl without putting path before it. Anyway I will put the full path before curl this time. I will let you whether it will work tomorrow. yixin On 2/10/06, Yixin Luo <luoyixin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello. > We put the a following script file - yixin.sh in the crontab.
