The cron job definition has been fine all along; the bash script fires fine as well, but the referenced line , below, in the script that runs the basexclient does not seem to be running.

Has the misspelled path been in your crontab or only your mail? Is it working now?
You didn't reply on this line:
- Which user's crontab is that line in, the user's you've been testing
the script from?

thanks for the replys
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"

- `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.
