Problem with crontab

[Renfred]

My problem is this.

In fact I made a java program. This program has many input parameters.

I made one .sh to the java program. Then edit the crontab for the program runs each day.

So far everything works well.

when I called to my.sh with paraemetres such as accents in my log file I can see it displays correctly, but when it's crontab that uses my.sh with of parameters containing accented characters, my log file displays? In place of these characters. And suddenly the program does not run properly.

So I feel that my crontab is difficult to interpret characters in UTF-8

Thank you for giving me some answers if you have an idea of problem.

Hello

at the beginning of your script.sh have you written following:

Code:

/bin/sh

export LANG = en_US.UTF-8

[Renfred]

thank you for the proposal, but it doesn't help me much since this variable is already filled.

When I made the CommDir env get
LANG = en_US.UTF-8
GNOME_KEYRING_PID = 3517
KDE_IS_PRELINKED = 1
GDM_LANG = en_US.UTF-8
KDEDIRS = /usr

So it is already done, more info?

The crontab command is launched with a pristine environment (with the exception of a few variables like $HOME). So when your script is executed by crontab, LANG is not set, and must be positioned by self.

Indeed you were right, now it's functioning correctly by adding export LANG = en_US.UTF-8 in my script.
