    HI all,

    I am new to linux administration. I am facing a strange problem.

    I have a simple cron job which has the following script

    SHELL=/bin/bash
    PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
    MAILTO=root
    HOME=/
    13 * * * * sh /home/projectdata/Accuweather/Parsers/currentParser.sh {
    which runs a Java Program to parse XML file } .

    I editied this file from /var/spool/cron/root ..

    When I manually run the command

    sh /<path>/currentParser.sh , it executes perfectly . But the same command
    doesn't work from the cron job. It fails to load the classes. It gives the
    following exception

    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/helpers/DefaultHandler
            at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:native)
            at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:52)

    I made sure that the jar files are added to the classpath variable defined
    in /root/.bash_profile ..
    How do we define X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/bash> variable and how to make the
    classpath available to X-Cron-Env ..

    I appreciate your help to this newbee. I have been trying a lot to solve
    this , but in vain .

    Thanks
    Ibrahim
