tcl script within cronjob

[Femina Jaffer]

Hello everyone,

I have read a post previously in regards to calling a tcl script within the cronjob, and I followed the suggestions carefully but am still getting errors when I run the code from the command line.  

After the mofications to the script I am now getting the error:

can’t read “0”: no such variable

   while executing

“exec hcitcl “$0” “$@” “

   (file “billing_dupfilecheck.tcl” line 20)

Here is the code snippet:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

# this line to escape the next line from the tcl interpreter

exec hcitcl “$0” “$@”

#

proc billing_dupfilecheck { args } {

I also just wrote a script without the proc and then I get the error “0403-006 Execute permission denied”

Here is the script without the proc:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

#!/hci/qdx5.5/integrator/bin/tcl

# this line to escape the next line from the tcl interpreter

exec hcitcl “$0” “$@”

set dir /hci/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator/testdev/FTP/EOB/OUT/

set hold_dir /hci/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator/testdev/FTP/EOB/HOLD/Files/

set out_dir /hci/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator/testdev/FTP/EOB/DUP/

Any suggestions?

This is how I do it:

Two questions what does your crontab entry look like ?

Second I would just put an echo in the script and echo out $0 and see if it has any value.   You might also just so you can see how it all works. Add an echo $* which will show you the entire command line that called your app.

It appears that it has not been passed to your script.
