General :: E-Mailing Whole Output Of A File With Crontab

May 3, 2011

I have this code that is 'bashed' regularly with crontab and basically it will send me an E-Mail of most of the output but it misses out some of it!

Here is the crontab code to automatically run the script:

Code:

So that sends me an E-mail with most of the output of the following code:

Code:

It sends me everything up to echo "*******" "Begin compressing and transferring files" "*******" but it wont output the tar bit.. so it should give me a list of files that have been tarred.

Aug 8, 2011

when I type "crontab -e" to edit the file, it is not opening in the editor & showing output as "285". I just wanted to edit crontab, So could anybody please tell me which is the real file of crontab, so I can manually edit that file using vi editor or nano. Or if that default editor is corrupted when I type "crontab -e", how can I change default editor before using "crontab -e" command. I will be waiting for your kind reply

Debian :: Crontab Script Is Not Producing Any Output?

Jun 16, 2010

I have created a small script to compile a network weathermap using the cacti RRD files. The script reads the *.conf files and outputs an html and a png file. When I manually run the script it works normally.

I have edited my crontab with the crontab -e command to run this script every minute

The problem is script itself works when I manually call it but when it is run using crontab it doesn't do anything. The cron.log shows that the script IS being run every minute with no errors but the files (html and png) do not get written. What am I doing wrong and how do troubleshoot this?

General :: Purpose Of /etc/crontab File?

Jun 7, 2010

I attempted to run various cron jobs as root - just general server make-tidy stuff. But if I edit the /etc/crontab file directly, these tasks don't get run. However, if I use crontab -e as root, these jobs appear to work. Any idea why this might be the case? Also, I understand that user cron jobs are stored in /var/spool/cron/<user> (including root). If this is the case, what's the purpose of the /etc/crontab file?

General :: Cron / Crontab - Do Not Edit This File

Mar 19, 2011

I am trying to have the files from /user/directory copy every hour to /backup/user/directory. It would seem that cron or crontab is what I need to use. Looking at previous posts and other documentation only shows how much I don't know. When I type crontab -e I get a blank file I can type into, seemingly using vi as the editor. I have no problem with that but when I type cron -l, I get my text after a message about "Do Not Edit this File". What I am reading just makes no sense, I am not understanding even the most fundamental aspects of cron or crontab. Where I can get the most basic of basic instructions to try to understand this function?
