Ubuntu :: Create A Bash Script To Create Make A Ftp Mirror Copy Of It
Aug 4, 2011I recently bought an host to have a personal website and would like to create a bash script to create make a mirror copy of it and then add it to crontab to run once a week. Essentially what I want to do is to get the website by using wget -m ftp://user***@ftp.host/mydir
Once this is done I'd like to have everything in an archive called mysite.date.tar.7z I've no experience at all of bash scripting but I guess this should be an easy task? How to make the user and password not visible ? Is there any other option better than wget? (maybe rsync it works better?)

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: After Using Crontab With /etc/crontab / Giving Error "can't Find Command Root"?
Aug 26, 2010I 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)

View 2 Replies View RelatedServer :: Causing Crontab To Not Email Blank Emails
Aug 3, 2011I've currently got a crontab line that looks like the following:
Code:
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /etc/backend/cron.php | mail -s "Cron script output" whiteydude@gmail.com
The script works fine - it runs every 5 minutes and checks if certain environmental variables are set in place - if they are, it prints an output. If they're not, it dies.
The problem is that when it dies, it still sends me a blank email - one every 5 minutes, every time the cron job runs.
telling it not to send if it's blank?
I'm assuming some type of dirty awk script could do this, but I don't really know my shell well enough to do that.
I'm not good at putting these things into words, so let me write some psuedo code to explain what I mean:
Code:
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /etc/backend/cron.php | if (STDOUT != '') { mail -s "Cron script output" whiteydude@gmail.com }
EDIT: Unfortunately I'm running on CentOS, so I can't use mail -E . Apparently that's a FreeBSD thing.
Server :: Crontab Fails But Command Line Works ?

If I run it as a cronjob as root, it finishes in a second and a 20k file is there. If I run it from the command line as root it does the backup (takes a few minutes) but does complete the backup and can be unzipped and read successfully.
