I have a shell file (compile.sh) that compiles then runs a java program. It works when I run it manually on an AIX server but gives me an error when I run it through CRON.

compile.sh :

/usr/java6/bin/javac  -classpath :.:/usr/jdk/commons-net-3.0.1.jar:/usr/jdk/classes12.jar:/usr/jdk/mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar:/usr/jdk/jtds-1.2.5.jar:/usr/jdk/mail.jar:/usr/jdk/joda-time-1.6.2.jar:/usr/jdk/commons-codec-1.4.jar:/usr/jdk/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpclient-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpclient-cache-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpcore-4.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpmime-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/mailapi.jar:/usr/jdk/pop3.jar:/usr/jdk/smtp.jar:/usr/jdk/dsn.jar:/usr/jdk/imap.jar -d . daily_transmission.java

    Just change directory before compiling and running :

    cd /absolute/path/to/your/project

/usr/java6/bin/javac  -classpath :.:/usr/jdk/commons-net-3.0.1.jar:/usr/jdk/classes12.jar:/usr/jdk/mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar:/usr/jdk/jtds-1.2.5.jar:/usr/jdk/mail.jar:/usr/jdk/joda-time-1.6.2.jar:/usr/jdk/commons-codec-1.4.jar:/usr/jdk/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpclient-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpclient-cache-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpcore-4.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpmime-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/mailapi.jar:/usr/jdk/pop3.jar:/usr/jdk/smtp.jar:/usr/jdk/dsn.jar:/usr/jdk/imap.jar -d . daily_transmission.java

java -classpath :.:/usr/jdk/commons-net-3.0.1.jar:/usr/jdk/classes12.jar:/usr/jdk/mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar:/usr/jdk/jtds-1.2.5.jar:/urs/jdk/mail.jar:/usr/jdk/joda-time-1.6.2.jar:/usr/jdk/commons-codec-1.4.jar:/usr/jdk/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpclient-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpclient-cache-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpcore-4.1.jar:/usr/jdk/httpmime-4.1.1.jar:/usr/jdk/mailapi.jar:/usr/jdk/pop3.jar:/usr/jdk/smtp.jar:/usr/jdk/dsn.jar:/usr/jdk/imap.jar daily_transmission

    ** Update **

    In fact, cron executes every job from the user’s home directory. Therefore, it is best to change your working directory from your shell script. Or even write your query as if you were sitting in your home directory (or root), by specifying absolute paths to every files and folders.
