Thanks Lars, I tried this already, however I would prefer solution without calling external scripts, so that's why I wished to put everything in the bos cron itself.

the problem must be in bos cron cmd line interpretation:

this works fine:

bos create <mysrv> releaseproj cron -cmd "/bin/bash -c '/bin/ls'" "now"

but this fails (added parameter to the ls command):

bos create <mysrv> releaseproj cron -cmd "/bin/bash -c '/bin/ls /tmp'" "now"
(Mon Jan 25 14:08:02 2010: releaseproj exited with code 2)

so bos cron is corrupting the cmd line and bash crashes.

stepan.
