I've written a Korn Shell script that sets an array the following way:
set -A fruits Apple Orange Banana Strawberry
but when I'm trying to run it from within cron, it raises the following error:
Your "cron" job on myhost
/myScript.sh
produced the following output:
myScript.sh: -A: bad option(s)
I've tried many crontab syntax variants, such as:
Attempt 1:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /path/to/script/myScript.sh
Attempt 2:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /path/to/script/./myScript.sh
Attempt 3:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * cd /path/to/script && ./myScript.sh
Any workaround would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks much in advance!

Although I'm not sure it's the best way to do it, I've managed to solve it this way:
Attempt 4:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * cd /path/to/script && ksh ./myScript.sh -
Does
myScript.shstart with#!/bin/ksh(or whatever the path is for your ksh)?
Nano Taboada : Indeed it does. Thanks for the feedback!jaredor : If it does start with #!/bin/ksh and still doesn't work as a Kornshell script, could it be that the script itself is not executable and that the cron job is therefore trying to run it as Bourne (on Linux, Bash) shell?
