[gradsusr] No Text Plots When Script Executed Via Crontab

[Perry, Aaron @ LSC]

Hi Michael,


Thanks for replying to my question.


I currently have the following at the top of the shell script:


#!/bin/sh

export PATH=/mnt/grads:$PATH
export GADDIR=/mnt/grads/
export GASCRP=/home/aaron/scripts/dec2013


I also have that in .bashrc file.

Are you setting the GADDIR inside your script?

Good Afternoon All,



I'm currently trying to execute a shell script (.sh) in crontab that runs GrADS.



I am able to run the shell script fine on it's own but, when I run it via crontab, I always get the following error:



Error opening stroke character data set
Data set names = /usr/local/lib/grads/font0.dat ; font0.dat



I have GrADS installed in /mnt/grads/ and all the associated font#.dat files in /mnt/grads/ so, I'm a bit perplexed as to why my system thinks that GrADS is in /usr/local/lib/.



Any ideas?
