- I have been trying to run an Ingres report using the unix Cron
- facility so that some report files can be automatically updated on a
- daily basis. I use the report <database> <reportname> feature of
- ingres inside of an executable unix script. If I run this script
- manually it works correctly. If I set this up as a Cron job it does
- not work even when I preface all files with appropriate paths. Since
- others have had problems making ingres programs (e.g. embedded SQL and
- 4GL) run under Cron I wanted to find out if there is a way to make
- this feature work. If the job cannot be run automatically the
- usefulness of the ingres report writer goes to zero in this
- application. I would appreciate any help on this matter. Thankyou.
