General :: Crontab - Schedule Job To Run Every Minute?

Apr 14, 2010

I am setting crontab to run a script every minute irrespective of the current hour's value:

Code:

[root@localhost bin]# ls
sec.php showTime.sh
[root@localhost bin]# crontab -l
1 * * * * /root/bin/showTime.sh
[root@localhost bin]#

But it is not working. Does the line mean: "Run this script every day at hour:01"?

Ubuntu :: Schedule A GUI App With At Or Crontab?

Mar 2, 2010

I want to schedule a Java program to run at a certain time, which will open a GUI progress monitor while it runs, and then terminate when it's done. I can execute it fine from the command line, but I it doesn't seem to work when I schedule it with crontab. In fact, I can't make any gui by scheduling it, not even something like gedit or firefox.

I know it's pretty rare that someone would want to do this, but is there any way to schedule a GUI app?

Ubuntu Servers :: After Using Crontab With /etc/crontab / Giving Error "can't Find Command Root"?

Aug 26, 2010

I have a question about using crontab with /etc/crontab...

I had a cron job that I needed to run as root. At the time I thought that sticking it in /etc/crontab would be a good idea. However, I used the crontab command to edit /etc/crontab, which I guess is not standard procedure? Specifically, I configured /etc/crontab as my local user's crontab (i.e. sudo crontab /etc/crontab) then added my cron job as I would a local user crontab (i.e. sudo crontab -e).

Originally, my cron job looked like this:

30 * * * * root /my/batch/script &> /dev/null

After adding the new cron job I started seeing errors. Something to the effect of "can't find command root" or something similar. So I removed the 'root' user definition from the cron job and the job started running fine. However, because this is /etc/crontab, there are other system related cron jobs that have been defined to run under the root account (e.g. "17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly" runs as root, etc.). So these pre-existing system cron jobs, which up until now have been running smoothly, are now generating "can't find command root" errors. But I think that the system cron jobs _are_ successfully being run someplace because logrotate seems to be working.

So what I _think_ is happening is that /etc/crontab is being run twice: once as the system crontab, and once as my sudoed local user's crontab. When I run crontab -l I see nothing, but when I run sudo crontab -l I can see the contents of /etc/crontab. I am reluctant to delete my sudoed local user's crontab, because then in the process I would be deleting the system crontab, and I do not know how I should restore the system crontab's contents. (I am still not sure as to the most appropriate way to edit the system crontab).

How can I get out of this mess? I want /etc/crontab to go back to the way it was before--running _once_ as the system crontab. As for my new cron job, I'm willing to reconfigure it anywhere so long as I am still able to run it as root. Any ideas? (I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTE)

General :: Sync Server And Client - Wait Over A Minute For The Changes To Be Downloaded?

Oct 17, 2010

I work as a part-time consultant developing webpages, both back end and front end.When developing a back end application I'm using a server running ubuntu server edition to host the application while I'm developing it.The problem comes when I want to upload my changes to the server, now I'm using Dropbox both on the client and the server, the problem is that sometimes I have to wait over a minute for the changes to be downloaded (when I'm working out-of-home that is) so I'm looking for a better alternative. My options seems to be:Some open source version of dropbox which syncs directly to my server (haven't found anyting that sounds viable though)

Mount my server via some protocol (NFS, SSHFS etc)

Push changes manually via FTP, git, svn or something else

I'd like the sync to be as transparent as possible, meaning I'd like to do as little manual work as possible.The client I'd like to connect runs either OSX or Ubuntu.The ultimate solution would be to use NFS + VPN though that would be alot of work to set up and also I don't like the security in NFS (matching UID's doesn't seem very secure to me)

General :: Reading A .CSV File And Then Calculating Average Per Minute Basis In Shell Script

Apr 23, 2010

I am new to shell script and to this form as well, I did try to search for a similar post like mine here, but could not find one.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

I am trying to grep server logs to find a specific string and then capture the time stamp and the value of that grep string in them. The log file prints out messages on per sec basis.

My script is able to grep the server logs for the entire period of my load runs and then outputted it to a .csv file too.

Unfortunately this .csv file is too large to extract it on my PC and to generate graphs as it exceeds the excel limit. I need some help on how to read this .csv file in a shell script and then take an average on per min basis before I can export it out on my desktop and generate graphs for analysis. example of the out in my .csv file:

General :: Create A Backup Schedule For Client Computers And Servers?

Sep 20, 2010

I did a search and came up with many different opinions and suggestions, and I could not find any similar threads for this (if there is I must apoligize in advance and did not look hard enough). I am trying to create a backup schedule for client computers and servers; and I would like your opinion on what I came up with. Here is network infrastrusture setup:

16 client computers
6 serevrs
- Primary and Secondary Web Server (RAID 1)
- Primary and Secondary Domain Controller (RAID 1)
- File/Print Server (RAID 5)
- Backup Server (RAID 1) with USB 2.0 1TB External Drive

Of course I will evetually upgrade to Tape Drives, but I am saving up for that. Anyways I want to backup ALL client computers, Primary Web and DC server, and File/Print Server. This will be done (of course) on the Backup Server) Here is the schedule:

General :: Clock Correction In GNU - Crontab?

Oct 20, 2010

My laptop's clock (Acer Extensa 5220) seems to be slow. I've corrected it 5 minutes forward last week and now have just corrected minute forward again. Is there a program [apart from time servers] to correct clock properly, for example, by shifting it a bit every hour? Is there already a program to put it to crontab or I should hack up a script? Or I should check more things?

I have found that HW clock is right, but system time is slow: about a second each 2.1 hours.
root@vi-notebook:~# dmesg | egrep 'clock|unstable'
[ 0.103785] Switching to clocksource tsc
[ 0.265274] Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle
[ 0.265514] Switching to clocksource acpi_pm
[ 1.321408] rtc_cmos 00:09: setting system clock to 2010-10-30 00:10:48 UTC (1288397448)
Is placing "hwlock --hctosys" to crontab a right thing?
