Hi All

I have a server running Ubuntu 12.04 that we only need during the day so I setup a script to shutdown the server at 11pm each night to save power. I did this years ago on a centos box but can't get it to work.

The logs show the script is run when I tail them and the email to root says shutdown -h now: not found

I have tried different commands and put them in "" just in case as well, but nothing seems to work. I chmod the file to 755 like the rest of my scripts and if I run the script manually it works but not when scheduled

Anyone got any ideas please

thanks

Glenn

Difficult to tell without looking at the script. Anyway, the error message means it is looking for a command named "shutdown -h now", whereas it should be "shutdown" only. Maybe a misuse of the double quotes?

How do you schedule it; in cron?
