1 - its ok to stack multiple commands in cron, i do it all the time 2 - yes, i miskeyed my cron line is should be "40 * * * * cd /home/xxx; ./basexjob.sh" 3 - line in my bash script is "/home/xxx/basex/bin/basexclient -Uxxx -Pxxx < /home/xxx/load.bxs"

Hi!

- Which user's crontab is that line in, the user's you've been testing the script from?
- `home/xxx` looks weird, do you probably mean `/home/xxx`?
- What's inside your `basexjob.sh`?
On Andria's comments:
I don't know if you can use sequence of commands on crontab
That's fine.
while I would use "/home/xxx/basexjob.sh" instead of "cd home/xxx; ./basexjob.sh"
The script could depend on the current path. If it doesn't, I'd prefer that, too.
