Hi,

We are running into a strange issue when we run reports inside of a script as root everything works fine. When we point the root crontab at the same script it no longer returns any results.

For example we have the script something like this below:

#!/bin/bash
#
# script foo.sh
# report to log.
###########################################
/sbin/aureport   -i -f -ts today --failed > /root/someloghere
# end script

When we run foo.sh as root from a command prompt it works fine.

When we run it from a crontab it doesn't return any results.

We has also tried adding the path to the file .
/sbin/aureport   -i -f -ts today --failed > /root/someloghere -if /var/log/audit/audit.log > /root/someloghere

We are running RHEL5.1 x64 if that matters.

I also downloaded and built the aureport and ausearch   still it had to effect.

Is there something we are doing wrong?

Thanks

Phillip
