redirect the output in some file..and see what it gives..
may be you'll get the answer

1 * * /home/log/sari/./runcopy.sh > /tmp/a.txt

Hi,

once I had a similar problem with a DB2 script. The trick is that when working in interactive shell all env. variables you need for Java, DB2, or whatever, are set, while they may not be set for cron.

Try to set your environment by sourcing your .profile script:

1 * * * * . ~/.profile ; /home/log/sari/./runcopy.sh >~/runcopy.log

May be you need to source /etc/profile instead. Depends on where the Java variables you need are stored.

Bernd
