General :: Cronjob Directory / Send An Email If Directory Contains More Than Ten Files?
Oct 13, 2010I want to run a cronjob every 15 minutes that checks a directory for files. If the directory contains more than ten files I want it to send an email to me.
All I have is this...
*/15 * * * * ls -l | wc -l | [filename] | mail -s "This is just a test" [email address]
I would rather not write a bash script. Is there an easier way to do this? I was looking into some commands like find and grep.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Pop Up Message From Cronjob Run Script?
Dec 22, 2010I'm working on a bash script that will be run regularly via a cronjob. As there is no easy way for the user to see if it's running in the background, I'd like a have some kind of pop up window what say's something like "Process started" and "Process finished" when it's complete. Ive read though some similar threads and came across xmessage. It kind of does what I want, with the exception of:-Id like the message Process started to stay up for the whole process, but it looks like the script wont continue until the xmessage window is closed. I cant get any xmessages to appear when the script is run from a cronjob. It only appears if I run the script manually from a terminal window. Which is no good for me. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great and just to add, it's doesn't have to be xmessage, any text box would do. I'm working with Redhat 4 and 5, if that makes a difference. Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognises the element of surprise.

General :: Change Rsyn Cronjob Via PHP Script ?
Apr 13, 2010Currently we have to comment out an rsync task every now and then. Is there a way to have a PHP script on the server so we can simply browse to it to uncomment the rsync task and another one to comment it out again ?
The rsync job is the only job in crontab so even if it means deleting / re-creating the job wouldn't be a problem. I just want to avoid connecting via SSH and VPN every time I am asked to disable it

I logged as denis and in terminal (su root) and edited crontab as shown below, what do I need to change or setup to have this script run when no-one is logged in the computer. I run Fedora 12 (64 bit)
backup script:
cd /home/denis/Documents
tar -czvPf /home/denis/Backups/docsbackups_$(date +%Y%b%d_%HH%MM).tar.gz /home/denis/Documents

Apr 5, 2011i have a site where I need to run a couple of php scripts every day..therefore I was thinking to setup a cronjob to do this. Unfortunately I get a whole bunch of errors trying to do so.
I can execute the php scripts via a command line without problem, one example would be
php /home/site/domains/stie.be/public_html/admin/cronjobs/cronjob_daily_ssh.php
however when i enter this command as such in a cronjob I get an error saying php command not found ( or something similar , doing this out of memory)
I tried to add the full path to the php command, but also this doenst work
the best workaround I found was to execute the php scripts with a lynx - dump command, but obviously this is not the right way.

Security :: Connect To Another Server (B) To Transfer Data Everyday?
Apr 13, 2010I have a server A that needs to connect to another server (B) to transfer data everyday.[A] ==SFTP==> [B]
I am using SFTP for the data transfert between A and B. I configured B to allow authentication only with a key, not with password. However, anybody who acccess the filesystem of A, could steal the password.
So I thought I could password protect the private key from A. But in such a case, I need to store the password somewhere on A, so the server A can access the private key to connect to B. Finally, it is endless: i always have to store somewhere a secret on A. Is there another solution that allow to have an authentication between A and B without storing plain text secret on the server A ?

Ubuntu :: Cronjob Stops After Several Seconds?
Sep 13, 2010I want to use a cronjob to start a script running streamripper to record radioshows when I'm not at home. I'm running 10.04 server 32 bit.
I've setup a cronjob via Webmin to start the recording. It runs the following script:
Code:
ORDNER=`date +%Y"_"%m"_"%d"-"%H"_"%M"(FM4)"` # 'ORDNER' means Folder and creates a folder with time/date to save the stream
streamripper http://mp3stream1.apasf.apa.at:8000/ -d /mnt/Samsung/Radio/$ORDNER --xs_padding=2000:500 -a -q -s
[Code]....
Is there any logfile or way to see why the script is killed or what stops the recording? When executing the script manually the recording runs just fine until I kill the process.
