I know crontab -e sets a cronjob in /var/spool/cron but how do I set a cronjob to run from /etc/crontab? Is there a command used for this or would I have to manually edit a certain file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.

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 would like to have this script running even when I am not logged in. At the moment it runs but only when I am logged in. 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.

cd /home/denis/Documents

I am a PHP developer.I have always used XAAMP(in Windows7) for development purpose. I am driven to turn to Linux now . I have installed Ubuntu10.04-rev189(Wubi) in Windows7 recently. I have a PHP script which require the following tasks to be performed.
1. Give permissions "777" to the following files and folders:_cache media images /configs.php mages/config_photo_preview.jpg
2. Set up cron jobs on your site like this: /usr/local/bin/php -q /your-site-root-dir/cron/index.php I need to get an environment like XAAMP and perform the above mentioned tasks.
i wanted to ask you for help in setting up a cronjob, that restarts a game server.By now I made a script that kills the screen of the server and then restarts it.

i 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.
I am trying to put a file from one linux machine to my other linux machine. There is absolutely no problem in downloading the file i.e. performing the "get" operation but when I try to upload or "put file" from my host1 to host2 it throws error "Error 0 Permission denied". I am able to put files from host2 to host1 without any problem but not from host1 to host. Infact if I try to tftp even localhost on host2 it throws the same error. Here is my
/etc/xinetd.d/tftp file for host2
service tftp {
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -c -s /tftpboot
#disable = yes
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
And permissions on /tftpboot are 777
[root@LinuxServer /]# ls -ld /tftpboot/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan 6 05:21 /tftpboot/
[root@LinuxServer /]# ls -l /tftpboot/
total 16
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 6 06:16 new_test
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 5 06:02 test2
And the command which I am using is :
[root@LinuxServer /]# tftp localhost -c put new_test
Error code 0: Permission denied
And ya here is /etc/sysconfig/selinux file is as under :
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
I am new to bash scripting (not programming in general).
I am writing a bash script that will run a Python script I have written.
I want to be able to do the following:
Pass parameters to the bash script via the cronjob (so I can have two cron jobs) one to be run with parameter 'foobar', and the other 'foo'
switch based on the parameter passed to the bash script (by switching, I mean an if/else based on the paramter passed to the bash script).
I would like to make a cronjob who makes a tag.gz of everything inside a directory in a recursive way. BUT there is a HUGE directory full of jpg's. I don't want this one in the backup.Additional points if it can backup symbolic links.

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.
ok, I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 and it displayed my screen with a gui. I then pressed alt-ctrl-f2 and it displayed a textual desktop. I pressed alt-ctrl-f3 and it displayed the same thing. When I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 to return to my gui, it would not let me return to a gui. I was stuck in a cmd line textual desktop.
How, without restarting, do i return to a gui once I press alt-ctrl-f2??
