Hi,
I know there a lot of threads discussing cron, but still these didn't help to solve my problem.
I have a script named ciscal which is located in /etc/cron.hourly.
Unfortunately this script wont execute. Thats what the command
Code:
tail -200 /var/log/syslog | grep CRON
says
Code:
May 12 13:39:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CRON[16000]: (root) CMD ( [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -delete)
May 12 13:39:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CRON[15998]: (root) END ( [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) -delete)
May 12 14:01:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CRON[16507]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
May 12 14:01:06 localhost /USR/SBIN/CRON[16506]: (root) END (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
The name should be ok, as I have read that .sh can cause troubles. I can see that cron executes at the deisred time but the script is not executed, altough
Code:
run-parts --test /etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.hourly/ciscal
says it would do so.
Persmissions look like this
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 66 May 12 10:56 ciscal
so this should do fine.
The script itself looks like this
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Test" > output
/usr/local/sbin/rubyscripts/cal
If I start it manually it works just fine. I really dont have any clue anymore.
Ah the cronttab looks like this
Code:
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.
#SHELL=/bin/sh
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
HOME=/
# m h dom mon dow user command
#17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
