Bash script output not being written to log file

Question

I've got a pentaho job which prints out java logger stuff to console if you run it manually. There should be hundreds of lines being logged. I have it scheduled as a cron job, and while the job seems to run fine, the logging stuff isn't being placed in the log file.

I have a start and end echo statement, and those are being writted to the log file.

Batch file:

echo "Starting daily cron run"
export KETTLE_HOME=/opt/appdata/app/
$PENTAHO_HOME/kitchen.sh -rep="APP_UNIX" -job=run_all
echo "Daily cron run completed"

The cron job:

5 3 * * * /home/e_app_s/load_all_etl_unix.sh > schedule.log

What schedule.log looks like:

Starting daily cron run
Daily cron run completed

Anyone see a problem here? Thanks.

Almost invariably, when running a job manually works and executing it from cron does not, the cause is a difference between your environment and cron's environment. — glenn jackman

I defined $PENTAHO_HOME explicitely instead of using the variable. It worked.
