I am using OCI CLI in ubuntu to automate a couple of things using crontab. While using and oci command,ex:

oci --help

I get a list of oci commands. However, as soon as I put it into a bash:

#!/bin/bash
oci --help

and do the crontab with log, I get the error message:

   /home/ubuntu/lib/oracle-cli/bin/test: line 2: oci: command not found

Any ideas ?

  • When it opens a shell, cron will not inherit the environment variables (like `PATH`) that you use from the command prompt. You need to include the complete, explicit path to `oci` in your script. – pmdba Jun 14 '22 at 18:03

When it opens a shell, cron will not inherit the environment variables (like PATH) that you use from the command prompt. You need to include the complete, explicit path to the oci command in your script. You can find this from your command prompt with the which command, as follows:

which oci

This can be caused by one of the following reasons:

  • pip installed the package to a different virtual environment than your active one.
  • You switched to a different active virtual environment after you installed the CLI.

To determine where the CLI is installed, run the

which pip

and

which oci

commands.

See this link ,it may help. check this one too.
