Which shell used in crontab ?

Hi All,
I have a question..i want to understand the crontab
I would like to know what SHELL being used to execute scripts defined in crontab?
For ex: crontab has getcompanies.ksh shell script.
But if i dont specify
#!/bin/ksh in the script.
what shell does the crontab uses to run the script ?
i mean how the variable SHELL is defined an how does it gets this env variables? how to know what are default variable crontab uses.
env: Sunsoloaris
Regards

I think cron will use /bin/sh, the manpage defines the default environment as:
cron supplies a
default environment for every shell, defining HOME, LOGNAME,
SHELL(=/bin/sh), TZ, and PATH. The default PATH for user
cron jobs is /usr/bin; while root cron jobs default to
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin. The default PATH can be set in
/etc/default/cron (see cron(1M)).
.7/M.

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
    Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

  • I have an Apple Iphone 3G which I use as an Ipod...which has the 4.2 operating system.   I had to 'restore' it and now it won't let me download the Facebook app...says I need to upgrade to a 4.3 system.    Any help you can provide me with that?

    Hi...I am new to this site and it looks like I posted the question in the subject box...my bad.
    I have an Iphone 3G which is used as an ipod (phone service plans are too expensive).
    I had some apps on it, Facebook being one of them.   The device was goins soooo slow (not even 2G of the available 6 being used) so I did as instructed and backed it up, restored it and then put the info back into it.   When I tried to download the Facebook app...it said that I had a 4.2.1 system and needed a 4.3 something system?   Can anyone provide any help on this or am I doing something wrong?
    Thank you in advance

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • Any way to keep track of which pages use templates in dreamweaver?

    So this site I am working on uses a template for most of the html pages but not all of them. A few of them have been detached from the template and will remain detached since they are not the same as the others. The only way I can see to check which ones use the template is to open the file. Once opened if it uses the template it says so in the upper right....but that would mean I would still have to mentally remember which ones use the document but there are 20 pages. I can not remember and I do not want to open 20 documents to see which ones use the template. Is there a way to see without opening? I wish it would tell me in the file manager which files are using the template......anything similar?? thanks

    You're welcome.
    Templates can make your life much easier, I believe.  I use the following scheme....
    First, I mentally separate the page layout into three sections:
    1.  Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e., the basic
    structural elements)
    2.  Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g., navigation elements,
    burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
    3.  Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
    Then I create a template containing all class1 elements.  Next I create
    server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and place them on
    the template as needed.  Note - some of the class 2 elements may be
    "section-specific elements", and their placement on the template will be
    subject to the next item.  Finally, I insert editable regions to cover the
    class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
    This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site.  I estimate that
    even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into planning and
    creating this template file.

  • How to find a program, which is using "Z" variant

    Hi All,
    I know only on custom devloped variant name, say "ZTEST". I do not know, which program is using it. Entry is there in TVARV table.
    Please let me know, how can I find the program, which is using that variant.
    Thanking you,
    Chetan Shah

    Hi Chetan,
    The variants for a report will be stored in the table <b>VARI</b>.
    Give your variant name to the field VARI-VARIANT and it will give the report name in the field VARI-REPORT.
    If you have same variant for the other reports, then it will shows the list of reports which the same variant name.
    I am working on ECC 5.0 and able to see this table.
    Thanks,

  • How to fix out of sync devices which have used 2 apple Ids?

    I have been working with the iCloud help desk over the last couple days on this but let me explain the situation:
    I have 2 apple IDs.  one I use for iTunes access/purchases, etc. it happens to be my day to day email.  the other ID happens to be associated with my mac.com email which I use for separate email purposes. 
    I use an ipadair, iPhone 4, mac. all are updated with most current IOS release.
    The issue is the lack of synchronization between the devices.  I primarily enter my contacts, calendars, reminders via my desktop mac/apple apps, i.e. ical, contacts and reminders.  However when I am away from my desktop i enter via my ipadair typically. The help desk did help and we were able to sync all of them via the Mail/Contacts/Calendars setups for new entries, rather than iCloud settings and any activated syncing via iTunes.  I know that there is a way to get this sorted/combined without losing any data.
    What I have discovered during my discussions with the help desk, if we take the contact lists as an example, is that I have a set of contacts entered separately and perhaps synced on my iPad that are not showing up anywhere else, for example the name Mia on my iPad does not show up on my iPhone or Mac contact list.
    the record counts are different, Mac contacts have 1459, iCloud apple ID 1 has 1386 and iCloud apple ID2 has 1434(each essentially are named after an email address; 1 of which is connected to my iTunes account, and although I cannot tell how many records are on my ipadair in contacts, I know that some of those contacts are different and have not synced across to my iPhone or Mac apps.
    So the question is how to get them all synced(iCloud apple ID 1(primary), iCloud apple ID 2, iPad contacts, Mac contacts without losing any contacts....i'm less concerned about duplicates, because I can manually delete dupes if they occur.  Just trying to get to one method of syncing....noting that when I set these up originally i used iTunes syncing and it seemed to add duplicates never was in sync and all contact list were messed up...i am sure that is because of the 2 iCloud IDs, but I do not know how to fix it so I do not lose any contacts/can clean from one source and also of course utilize syncing for calendar, reminders, etc. retaining my separate apple ID for ITunes and the other for all this synchronization.
    thanks.

    You need to:
    1) Go to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], and then change the AppleID/Primary Email back to [email protected] Sign out.
    2)  Delete the icloud account on the iphone. Enter the password when prompted.
    3) Go back to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], then change the AppleID/primary email back to [email protected]

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add a new account by tapping the "create Apple ID" button. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud.  I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account.  How can I get what was stored on the original account?

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

    Syncing an iDevice to a computer does not remove content from the computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a computer that it does not normally sync with will remove the content from that device.
    If the media was acquired with a different Apple ID it is in no way linked to your Apple ID.

  • Hi, just need to know how to get my music, video, pictures and apps form my iPhone to my new laptop as the old computer, which I used before was stolen. I only have my phone left and if I try to conect it to my new laptop it's trying to delete everything.

  • My wife and I each have our own apple ID's which we use on our own iPhones and iPads. We share an iMac. Is there a way of enabling Facetime on the iMac to accept calls to either of our IDs without the need to login as that particular user?

    no, when using facetime you log in with the apple id you want people to reach you at, so unless you both agree to share one apple id for all the facetime you do, it will be necessary for you to logout and login each time you use the application.
