Re: ncl_filedump crontab make error

Thanks for your reply.
I tried your idea and I write a bash script that make export for NCARG_ROOT
*#!/bin/bash*
*export NCARG_ROOT="/usr/local/ncl_6.0.0/"*
*/usr/local/ncl_6.0.0/bin/ncl_filedump /home/ahmed/surface.grb*
* *
But, it also give me the same the error.
