WE have Oralce 11.2.01 on Redhat 5.2, and I tried schedule backup with crontab as
15 1 * * 1 /home/oracle/bin/backup_0.sh > /home/oracle/ftpf/rman/rman0.log
20 1 * * 0,2,3,4,5,6 /home/oracle/bin/backup_1.sh >> /home/oracle/ftpf/rman/rman_level1.log
The 1st entry is the level 0 backup and 2nd is level 1. The level 1 shell script is
#!/bin/sh
echo '========================================='
date
cd /home/oracle/ftpf/rman
rman target / CMDFILE cmd_rman1
and the command file is
backup incremental level 1 tag 'level_1' as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
The level 1 backup schell script executes every morning except Monday and output in log file like
.......

The RMAN comands appear not executed. BUt if I run the same command in shell prompt like
/home/oracle/bin/backup_1.sh >> /home/oracle/ftpf/rman/rman_level1.log
the command runs through and backups take. The same is for the level 0 schedule.
Why is that? Hope someone can share his schedule experience or work around with me.
