Mar 2, 2010I 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?

Jan 2, 2010I'm running Ubuntu server 8.04.3 with eBox on a Dell GX280. I want to power off my box automatically every night, so as root I added a crontab entry "05 1 * * * /sbin/shutdown -P now". The command runs on schedule but most days the PC goes into a coma instead of powering off. It doesn't respond to key presses or mouse movement or Ctrl-Alt-Delete, I have to push its power button to complete the shutdown. I have tried a variety of alternatives such as "/sbin/shutdown -h" and "runlevel 0", they all behave the same way

Server :: Shutdown The Nodes From The Master Terminal Using "shutdown -h Now" Get Shutdown?
Dec 10, 2010I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?

Dec 17, 2010I have been messing with rsync but I don't see any kinda time limitations that will start the sync at 1am and stop it at 5am and resume the next night. Im dealing with some rather big files so the program will need to be able to resume an upload. I would like to use the ssh protocol to send the files as it's encrypted. (something like scp is fine too) but I can't see how to get them to stop at 5am (I thought of using a cron job but then how do I stop it at 5 without corrupting the partially uploaded file...)Both OS's are linux/unix based (Debian/Max OS X with ports)

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.
