How can I output the chkconfig results to a file within a shell script?

Question

When I run the following from the linux command line it works properly and populates the chkconfig.bak file correctly :

#chkconfig --list > chkconfig.bak

But when the command is run from a daily shell script the chkconfig.bak file comes out empty.

Any guesses why this would be happening?

Answer 1

You will probably need to use the full path to chkconfig

/sbin/chkconfig --list > chkconfig.bak

and you may want to put a full path on the output too.
