Cronjob created empty files
 

Hi All,

I have facing a problem with cron job.
Actually on the client server there are some cronjob scheduled
as follows:

@daily sh_file.sh 2>&1>> /dev/null #Contact: vali.zachia@gmail.com
@hourly php demo.php 2>&1 >> /dev/null
10 2 * * * wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #Cron IE
10 2 * * * wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #cron EN
@daily sh script.sh
@daily sh script.sh
@daily sh script.sh
@hourly wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null
@daily wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #Cron Poland
@daily wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #Cron Norway
@daily wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #Cron Portugal
10 2 * * * wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #Cron GR
@daily wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null
@daily wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null
@daily wget --no-check-certificate url 2>&1 > /dev/null #Denmark



Cronjobs are scheduled daily/hourly.

But what happends after every hour/day there is a blank file created in a folder .

like :
hourly.1

hourly.2
hourly.3
hourly.4

and so on similary for daily scripts.

I am not sure whether these are created by cron job
So please clarify whether cronjob provides some thing like above or it is the code problem

Cron does not create empty files like you describe. It is likely an issue with your code. See also

Thanks this is helpful to me.
