nohup not generating/updating nohup.out from cron

Hi..All, I have a shell script "main.sh" which in turns runs another shell script in a nohup mode. All the env variables are set properly. Main.sh --------- PATH=..... HOME=..... nohup ./another.sh & When I run it from command line it does create the nohup.out in the $HOME & updates it with the debug messages from "another.sh" . But if I add it to the cronjob it doesn't create/update the nohup.out What do I need to do to fix this. TIA P

But in the script I do cd /<main_dir>/required_working_directory in the beginning of the shell script. so do you mean in the cron job do I have to still execute it like crontab ------- * * * * (cd <required_folder> ; ./main.sh ; ) Regards P
