Ubuntu :: Cron Script Not Properly Executing?
Jun 5, 2010so sorry about this seemingly silly cron question. I know a lot are asked, and are usually just environment related.Anyway, I wrote a very simple PHP script to mount my external drive to a specific location as soon as it's switched on.The script works great when run.What's strange, is that it runs in cron and generates a log file, but for someone reason doesn't mount the drive when cron runs itI added in the full path to EVERYTHING in the script, and I'm calling it with the full path from crontab, but it doesn't mount my drive when run from cron.I've tried running the individual commands on the cmd, and it all works.

Oct 1, 2009I am adding the following scripts to cron via crontab -e (as user)
Quote:
The first one is to record tv. I've added dev/null 2>&1 at the end. No too clear why but without it, it records only a few seconds.
The second script is (as you should already noticed) to turn off my computer at 6:25 am. It doesn't work (with or without dev/null 2>&1). I am surely forgetting something important. Could you please tell me what is it?
CentOS 5 :: Cron Entries Not Executing?
Jun 2, 2010I'm trying to add several cron jobs. I have a folder (/etc/cron.myapp) with several subfolders in it (30minute, 3minute, daily, hourly).

Server :: MySQL Backup Cron Job Not Executing Correctly?

When I go in and look, it doesn't place any files in /home/dbbackup. When I run
mysqldump -u root -p password --all-databases | gzip > /home/dbbackup/database_`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.sql.gz

Programming :: Cron And Fsarchiver Reportedly Running Not Actually Running?
Jun 1, 2010My root Vixie cron crontab is set to perform a system snapshot via fsarchiver: 0 0 * * * fsarchiver savefs -o -A /backups/p30_root.fsa /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 The command itself works fine, generating about a 7G snapshot of my Suse server. I then wish to rsync this to a NAS I have located in another building: 0 3 * * * rsync -av -e ssh --delete /backups/ root{at address}:/DataVolume/os_backups/
(yes, I'm rsyncing as root. I absolutely loathe it, but I got thrown into an quasi-SA position with a ridiculous to-do list and no time to do it. I'm having to make things just work and then go back and try to improve them/learn how. I couldn't make it work in a non-root way quick enough, so for now I'm having to cron rsync jobs as root because of all the differing file permissions on this samba/MySql server. I set the NAS to only accepts ssh from the server IP, and we're behind a campus firewall... It's serious trial by fire.) The crontab also has rsync commands for the samba areas, our specialized chemistry software and affiliated MySQL databases............

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Executing PHP File Via Command Line
Nov 16, 2010I have a php file that I need to execute via a cronjob. This file should be run by the www-data user as its a file in my /var/www/project folder. When I run this file under root (php -f cron.php) everything works perfectly, but I want it to run under the www-data to be safe. Before I run it vai crontab I tried it via command line as the www-data user and I receive errors:
Fatal Error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes expired (tried to allocate 232 bytes).
But when I run it as the root user I get no errors and everything works correctly. The file cron.php is used to process automated tasks in my CRM. So I don't really want to have the root user running a crontab every few minutes for this.
Must the www-data user be given more permissions? I am using Ubuntu 6.06LTS
PHP - 5.1.2
Apache - 2.0.55
MySQL - 5.0.22

Aug 24, 2010what we are trying to do is, to let the customer click a button in the web browser, and then the web server to call a shell script to do the work. The output from the stdout && stderr of the script should be displayed in the web browser once finished or timeout, along with the exit code of the script.
The shell script is however not on the web server, but on another app server. So to call this script from the web server as the identity 'tomcat':
Code:
$ sh appuser@app-server:$appbin/app-script
The .ssh/id_rsa.pub thing is done, and we have no problem doing this in the command line so far.

Fedora :: Running Java App As Daemon
Aug 28, 2009I'm new to Fedora and have just purchased a subscription to a GoDaddy Virtual Dedicated Server, which I'm able to control using SSH.I have a Java application that I want to run as a daemon on this VDS. Some google searching yielded a bunch of different methods of doing this, none of which I'm sure would be guaranteed to work with Fedora, so I was hoping someone here could give it to me straight and fill me in on the simplest way of doing this.What is the best/simplest way to run a Java application as a daemon on Fedora?
