Thanks graff,

cron is executing the script, but now i have a different problem.

I have all the scripts under /root/nfs_share/SCRIPTS folder as you can see i was trying to run a script ncp_run.tcl (which is again under SCRIPTS dir). In this ncp_run.tcl file i am socurcing some other files 

source resource.conf
source init.tcl

[download]

so while corn is executing the script it is throwing error 
couldn't read file "resource.conf": no such file or directory
    while executing
"source "resource.conf""
    (file "/root/nfs_share/SCRIPTS/ncp_run.tcl" line 1)

[download]
so is it something like corn is running this in some other environment. here is some of the datails: 

[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# which crontab
/usr/bin/crontab
[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/s
+bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/root/nfs_share/SCRIPTS:/root/n
+fs_share/SCRIPTS/
[root@perflnx14 SCRIPTS]# echo $HOME
/root

[download]

but if i run this script manually  expect -f ncp_run.tcl</it will work finep> once again thanks for helping me out in this ;-)
