When a shell script executes, it knows nothing of the environment variables you have set up for your session. So you'll have to code your $ORACLE_HOME and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables in your script as well. The script works in your session because you have these env vars defined. But running in cron runs without these env vars. A good way to test your cron scripts is to run them in your session with the "sh -x" command similar to the following:
sh -x scriptnameThis comes the closest to mimicing how cron runs your script.
