Debian :: Start A Cron Job From Runlevels?

Jun 3, 2010

I have made a shell script that is ran every 5 minutes (using crontab) that does the following:(please disregard the '.' in ht.tp .. I'm under 15 post...can't post URLs yet ) Code: #!/bin/bashwget -q --read-timeout=0.0 --wait=5 --tries=5 -O /var/log/dynamicDNS.data ht.tp://someURLecho "[$(date)] $(cat /var/log/dynamicDNS.data)" >>/var/log/dynamicDNS.logrm /var/log/dynamicDNS.data >/dev/nullexit 0 (this script might look pretty bad but hey, it's my first one!)hat works perfectly! Though, I need to have this "cron" run from startup (boot) without the need to open a terminal and leave it open.I understand I can use runlevels to start a program from boot but that will have it run only once.

After upgrading Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04, the cron daemon no longer runs automatically upon starting up the machine; I need to enter "sudo service cron start" to get it running. Is there a way to get it to start up by itself?

Ubuntu Servers :: Runlevels In Or The Lack Thereof?

Jan 23, 2010

I came up on RedHat. While I thoroughly embrace Ubuntu now, I miss the concept of runlevels. I installed all my CentOS servers with Gnome as a convenience on tap when needed. I boot them to runlevel 3 and open a vnc shell if i need gui. Then kill the vnc thus killing the gui. Just a fantastic compromise for me.

SOooo...how to replicate this behaviour in Ubuntu?

NOT a very broad topic on here that I can see. Anyone doing this? How?

Slackware :: Can I Switch Runlevels During Boot Process

Nov 2, 2010

I upgraded to current, and x won't start... I suspect it's probably an issue with the Nvidia drivers (I forgot to swith my xorg to the nv drivers; I knew I'd be getting a new kernel). Anyway, it leaves me with an unusable computer. Is there anyway I can get into a console before x tries to start. BTW, the ctrl-alt-f1 hotkey isn't working.

Ubuntu :: Update-rc.d Ignoring Init Script's Runlevels

Feb 1, 2011

Let's say I have a init script, etc/init.d/strangeScript, that starts like this:

Code:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: strangeScript
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog

[Code].....

Why is it not only complaining my runlevels do not match the defaults, which they do, but also is refusing to create the links to the proper runlevels? This is 10.04LTS if that matters.

Fedora :: No Output From Cron Jobs In /etc/cron.daily

Jan 29, 2011

I have added some executable scripts to /etc/cron.daily but don't get the stdout/stderr output from them as mail (or anywhere else I have found). At least one of them is running (because I can see that it has added a file to the disk).

The peculiar thing is that I do get the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch (part of the logwatch package) as an email each day.

The MAILTO line in /etc/crontab is "MAILTO=root" (unchanged from default). Same for /etc/anacrontab.

I do have an alias at the end of /etc/aliases which redirects root's mail to my own account, but this alias works fine for mail I send manually. (It also appears to work fine for the output from the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.)

Code:

ps -A | grep apt

showed it for a long time,

Code:

sudo tcpdump tcp

showed communication with canonical sites,

but:

Code:

top

did not show any apt using CPU

Ubuntu :: Do Cron Updates Erase Cron Entries

Sep 19, 2010

I put in my cron entries to run my backup script which rsyncs my data to my 2nd drive, however on a hunch I checked my backup drive which mounts automatically via fstab and I realize it had not ran in a while. I checked cron and there were no entries for it. I got to wondering if I should ever be worried about a cron update coming down and over-writing my existing cron file with the backup entries in it to run.

CentOS 5 :: Setup A Cron In /var/spool/cron/root

Feb 16, 2010

I have set up a cron in /var/spool/cron/root

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/phplist.sh

I can see in /var/log/cron that it is running every 15 minutes but it has no effect. It is not doing the commands in the bash script.

If I run /usr/bin/phplist.sh right in the shell it works great.

How can one have commands in cron? I do not know much but do know that there is something called cron. I read the manpage[quote=Cron Debian Man page]cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)[/quote] and it says to make files in /var/spool/cron/crontabsWhile I went to /var/spool/cron/crontabs I did not find anything there. I just want to tell cron that it runs $sudo aptitude autoclean at some time in the background. Is this possible? If yes, then how ?

Debian :: Cron Task Not Working

Jun 27, 2015

I have a ts3.desktop file in my /usr/share/applications folder that I want to run on system boot. I have typed the following commands which don't work

Code: Select allcrontab -e

Then in the editor, I typed the following line at the bottom of file. I also made the necessary carriage return after this line.

Code: Select all@reboot gtk-launch ts3 /usr/share/applications

Then I pressed ctrl+o to save it.

After I put these commands in, I did the following command to troubleshooting this issue, see below.

Code: Select all$ crontab -l
no crontab for server
$ps -ef | grep cron | grep -v grep
root         532      1   0 21:35 ?                 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cron -f

But after I reboot and nothing happens, the application doesn't start.

Debian :: Is Apt-Get Upgrade In Cron Safe?

I've been using debian for sometime but I've never trusted in automated upgrade on my servers so my question is: Is this safe in cron and how often should I run it (everyday, once a week)?

Debian :: Cron Won't Run Ftp Script / Resolve This?

Sep 6, 2010

I have an ftp script that will run fine manually when logged in as root. I set the root's crontab to run this file and it won't run. The script run fines from the command line with either "./ftpcall.sh" or "sh ftpcall.sh" but doesn't run at all in the cron. Permissions are obviously set to execute as it runs fine from shell.

Debian :: Executing Scripts From Cron ?

Oct 1, 2009

I am adding the following scripts to cron via crontab -e (as user)

Quote:

The first one is to record tv. I've added dev/null 2>&1 at the end. No too clear why but without it, it records only a few seconds.

The second script is (as you should already noticed) to turn off my computer at 6:25 am. It doesn't work (with or without dev/null 2>&1). I am surely forgetting something important. Could you please tell me what is it?

Debian :: Cron Mangles Path After Power Dip?

I have running Debian on a QNAP device and it like's run well. But todat I saw that the default cron job seems a little bit strange [ -x /.sr/.ib/.hp5/.axlifetime ] && [ -d /.ar/.ib/.hp5 ] && find /.ar/.ib/.hp5/.-type f -cmin +$(/.sr/.ib/.hp5/.axlifetime) “delete

How is't possble?

Debian Configuration :: Suspend Mode And Cron Jobs?

Jul 7, 2010

Just curious if this is possible. What I want to do is setup a rsync job to backup my laptop to my personal file server(same LAN), but I want it do do this at 3AM while I'm sleeping. However I always close my laptop lid when I'm done using it which puts the laptop into suspend mode since that's how I configured my power options in gnome. Since I don't want to leave my laptop powered up all the time, I was wondering if it is possible to have a cron job scheduled that will wake the laptop up(out of suspend mode) and run my script/backup job, all without opening the lid of the laptop, and then put it back into suspend mode when it's done. Is this possible, and is it as easy as scheduling a cron job or is there some other scripting/configuration/trickery that I need to do to accomplish this?

Also, my laptop's BIOS has the option to power on at a scheduled time if needed, but I'm not sure if that would work with it being suspended(hibernation is not an option since my entire HD is encrypted with LUKS and I would have to be present to enter the password to boot the system.).

Debian Configuration :: Cron Jobs Not Running On XEN DomU

Aug 16, 2010

I have a XEN DomU VM running Lenny and set up using debootstrap. I also have the TimeWentBackwards issue sorted using: [URL]. The problem is that my cron jobs just don't run. I've set up a cron job that simply echoes a date string to a file as a tester but it's not running. I've tried it under the root crontab, in /etc/crontab and set up in /etc/cron.daily. Is there something I'm missing?
