Mondo Cron Job not running
 
Hi All

I have installed Mondo Rescue on one of my Centos 5.8 servers and it works perfectly from command line with the following command:

mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

when i add this to crontab -e it will not run!

in the cron logs it displays the following:

Apr 12 10:53:01 backuptest crond[7036]: (root) CMD (root cd "/home/mondo"; ./backup.sh)
Apr 12 10:53:01 backuptest crond[7035]: (root) MAIL (mailed 81 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 )
Apr 12 10:53:59 backuptest crontab[7255]: (root) LIST (root)
Apr 12 10:55:01 backuptest crond[7370]: (root) CMD (root /home/mondo/backup.sh)

there are no messages sent and all of the above is being run as root.

I tried creating a simple script in /home/mondo but the script also doesnt run in cron, it does run manually:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"


Could anyone please shed some light on what it is im doing wrong please?

Many thanks

Dave

What's the entry you made in crontab?

chrism01 04-12-2012 07:10 PM

For this, it looks like the mailer has issues
Code:

Apr 12 10:53:01 backuptest crond[7035]: (root) MAIL (mailed 81 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 )
Have a look in /var/log/messages, maillog

davemac2626 04-13-2012 03:53 AM

Hi Chris

There are no logs in /var/log/maillog

I also copied the script to /etc/cron.daily however still does not run, is there anything else I could try?

Many thanks

Dave

chrism01 04-15-2012 08:27 PM

As above, show the exact crontab entry, also check /var/log/messages.
also, try

mailx

as root and see what if anything is in there

davemac2626 04-16-2012 03:16 AM

Hi Chris

Thanks for the reply, the exact crontab entry is:

[root@backuptest ~]# crontab -l
40 12 * * * root cd "/home/mondo"; ./backup.sh
42 12 * * * root /home/mondo/backup.sh
44 12 * * * root mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

The times the job is run is not really in the equation I would like to run the job at midnight it was just to test during the day. Also the command mailx shows:

[root@backuptest ~]# mailx
-bash: mailx: command not found
[root@backuptest ~]#

I have tried all combinations of running the script and the actual command via cron, it seems to start the job but not actually execute it:

Apr 15 12:40:01 backuptest crond[23695]: (root) CMD (root cd "/home/mondo"; ./backup.sh)
Apr 15 12:40:01 backuptest crond[23694]: (root) MAIL (mailed 81 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 )
Apr 15 12:42:01 backuptest crond[23940]: (root) CMD (root /home/mondo/backup.sh)

please dont pay much attention to the times as i keep changing the times in cron to try something else.

I have also tried doing the "at" command as referenced:

http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mond...-solution.html

however the at command followed by my normal command does not work as it doesnt like the -Oi or the -E in my command so im at a bit of a loss....

Many thanks

Dave

I think you've made wrong entries in crontab, if I'm not wrong. Do you want to run the backup.sh script? And do you want to run this mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo" command?

Satyaveer Arya 04-16-2012 03:34 AM

The correct entry would be -

Quote:

42 12 * * * sh /home/mondo/backup.sh
44 12 * * * mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

davemac2626 04-16-2012 04:39 AM

Hi Satyaveer

Firstly thanks for the reply. To answer your questions:

Do you want to run the backup.sh script? And do you want to run this mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo" command?

Yes i want to run the command: mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

I have already created the entries in crontab:

44 12 * * * mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

however it does not work - i added the root before just in case it was a permissions thing even though the crontab entry was made under root, just a precaution really. Also just for reference, I only wrote the script as the command option wasnt working.

I just tried the other cron entry you posted however still yet again nothing:
(33 10 * * * sh /home/mondo/backup.sh)

Apr 16 10:28:26 backuptest crontab[9916]: (root) LIST (root)
Apr 16 10:28:33 backuptest crontab[9933]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
Apr 16 10:28:47 backuptest crontab[9933]: (root) REPLACE (root)
Apr 16 10:28:47 backuptest crontab[9933]: (root) END EDIT (root)
Apr 16 10:28:50 backuptest crontab[9983]: (root) LIST (root)
Apr 16 10:29:01 backuptest crond[14639]: (root) RELOAD (cron/root)
Apr 16 10:33:02 backuptest crond[10557]: (root) CMD (sh /home/mondo/backup.sh)

Still no messages in /var/log/messages or in /var/log/maillog

Totally stumped now and to be honest a tad annoying! :s

Many thanks

Dave

First-of-all you please use CODE and QUOTE tags to differentiate the command and entries used by you, so that it looks meaningful, understandable and nice.

Now to your question -

Quote:

44 12 * * * mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

however it does not work - i added the root before just in case it was a permissions thing even though the crontab entry was made under root, just a precaution really.
Try to run this mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo" manually on command line, and see what output you get and share that output with us.

Also same is the case with backup.sh script, run this script also on command line and see what you get.

davemac2626 04-16-2012 09:30 AM

Hi Again

sorry for the QUOTE/CODE thing i didnt realise....

ok ran the command from the cli and got the following:

See /var/log/mondoarchive.log for details of backup run.
Execution run ended; result=0
Type 'less /var/log/mondoarchive.log' to see the output log
]0;root@backuptest:/home/mondo[root@backuptest mondo]#

Again ran fine!!! I had to remove some progress lines due to the text limits on posts....

Hope this is in a better format.

Many thanks

You ran both the commands and that worked properly without any errors, right?

This time again try to schedule your cronjob with correct entries and see what happens.

For backup.sh script you can make this entry as well -

42 12 * * * /home/mondo/backup.sh

Hi Satyaveer

Ok so created a new crontab:

Code:

[root@backuptest mondo]# crontab -l
52 15 * * * /home/mondo/backup.sh
54 15 * * * mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"
56 15 * * * /usr/sbin/mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

and yet again noting!

cron messages state:
Code:

Apr 16 15:47:18 backuptest crontab[13869]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
Apr 16 15:49:07 backuptest crontab[13869]: (root) REPLACE (root)
Apr 16 15:49:07 backuptest crontab[13869]: (root) END EDIT (root)
Apr 16 15:49:33 backuptest crontab[14144]: (root) LIST (root)
Apr 16 15:50:01 backuptest crond[14639]: (root) RELOAD (cron/root)
Apr 16 15:52:01 backuptest crond[14512]: (root) CMD (/home/mondo/backup.sh)
Apr 16 15:54:01 backuptest crond[12132]: (root) CMD (mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo")
Apr 16 15:56:01 backuptest crond[19974]: (root) CMD (/usr/sbin/mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo")

also changed the last one just in case it didnt like the path i referenced to:
Code:

[root@backuptest mondo]# crontab -l
02 16 * * * mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo"

and again didnt run and nothing in the logs:
Code:

Apr 16 15:59:01 backuptest crond[14639]: (root) RELOAD (cron/root)
Apr 16 15:59:34 backuptest crontab[21279]: (root) LIST (root)
Apr 16 16:01:01 backuptest crond[21520]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Apr 16 16:02:01 backuptest crond[21806]: (root) CMD (mondoarchive -Oi -d /home/mondo -E "/home/mondo")

I just seriously see why it will not run it :s

Many thanks

Dave
