Is there a reason why you have a comment sign in front of each line?

When you say "I run this script by hand", do you mean run the script itself or each line of the script as you showed above?
Did you try to redirect stdout/stderr to files to see what is going on?

Hi,

The following script works fine on all worksation when it's start manually or if I run it line by line manually.

If I would like to run it on crontab, the following line
"/usr/bin/yum -y install VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.x86_64"
not install the new release of vmplayer with no errors.



#!/bin/bash

SHELL=/bin/bash
export SHELL

/etc/init.d/vmware stop

/usr/bin/yum -y remove VMwarePlayer.x86_64
/usr/bin/yum -y remove VMware-Player.x86_64

/usr/bin/yum -y install VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.x86_64

/usr/bin/vmware-networks --stop
/usr/bin/vmware-networks --migrate-network-settings /vmware/virtualmachine
/usr/bin/vmware-networks --start

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 vmware on

Is the last statement translated from French or the actual
error message?

Anything in /var/log/cron ?

Just tested the following:

*/5 * * * * yum -y install gnome-nettool >> /tmp/crontest 2>&1

and it worked fine...
Are you sure the script is executable by the crontab user?
Try the redirects like in my example to see what is going on
