I've written a Korn Shell script that sets an array the following way:
set -A fruits Apple Orange Banana Strawberry
but when I'm trying to run it from within cron, it raises the following error:
Your "cron" job on myhost
/myScript.sh
produced the following output:
myScript.sh: -A: bad option(s)
I've tried many crontab syntax variants, such as:
Attempt 1:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /path/to/script/myScript.sh
Attempt 2:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /path/to/script/./myScript.sh
Attempt 3:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * cd /path/to/script && ./myScript.sh
Any workaround would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks much in advance!
