Ubuntu :: Scp From Shell Script Using Cron

Oct 12, 2010

I have a script that I would like to run using 'cron'. I want to use 'scp' to transfer files from one machine to another. I have set up the SSH keys on both machines. When I run the script from bash terminal, it works flawlessly. But when I schedule a 'cron' job to run the same script, 'scp' does not transfer the files.

'Return value' is 0 when the script is run from bash directly. But when it runs from 'cron', the 'Return value' is 1. That means, surely, that 'scp' is throwing an error. I don't know which error is being encountered. Could anybody let me know how to make it work?

Ubuntu :: Shell Script Not Working In Cron

Jan 20, 2010

I'm creating a script all worked fine in the command line. But not work in the cron. Below you could see the script

[Code]...

So far I found when I use corn following part not working, nothing goes to the processedfiles file. ls -l /var/lct/mou2/processed | grep $TODAY | awk '{print " " $8}' > /home/trans/mou/processedfiles ls -l /var/lct/mou2/processed | grep $YESTERDAY | awk '{print " " $8}' >> /home/trans/mou/processedfiles This work perfect in command line. Corn job and command line use by the same user.

Ubuntu :: Cron Runs Shell Script - But Only First Line Of It?

May 18, 2010

I have a cron job that runs a shell script. But it only runs the first line of that shell script and not the rest of the file. I'm a little stumped as to why. If I run the shell script manually, it runs and executes every single line as it should. I think I must need some additional syntax to make this run correctly?

Here is the crontab ...

Code:
root@kchlinux:~/macs# crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command

Ubuntu :: Timestamp Format - Shell Versus Cron Job

Jun 16, 2010

Setup: 10.04 server with "bash" as /bin/sh
When I run "ls -l" in a shell I get the following format:

Code:
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 2010-06-13 06:53 /var/log/user.log
Whereas if "ls -l" executes from a cron job the format is:

Code:
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 Jun 13 06:53 /var/log/user.log
Notice the different time format. Now I could fix this by changing the cron job to

Code:
ls -l --time-style=+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M ...
but I'm interested in knowing why this behavior occurs. What's different between the cron job and the shell?

Ubuntu :: Creating Shell Script From Source Code For Cron?

Jan 31, 2010

This is regarding the KDE application Basket:

I want to create a shell script that I can run as a cron job to do automated backups. how to proceed. I have the source code and have pulled out the backup source files. Here is the link for the source code. The download is at the bottom of this page. The backup files can be found in the src folder listed as backup.cpp and backup.h [URL]

If someone can do this, I believe it will make a nice addition to the Basket application for all.

Also I am not running Kubuntu I am running Karmic 9.10 64 bit

General :: Running Shell Scripts With Cron

Sep 24, 2009

I've been having a bit of trouble running a shell script with cron. A friend of mine does a community radio show and the station has a live stream but no podcasts, so I've set up a script to record the stream and encode it as an mp3 while I'm away using mplayer and lame -that's what I'm trying to do anyway.

Here's the script, but it doesn't seem to run- at least, I don't see any of the files it should be outputing, would they be in the cron.weekly directory (where I have the script) or in my home directory?

#This is a script to record 'The Unnamed Show'

#it will record the show from the live stream, then convert the output #to an MP3

#Finally, it will delete any files no longer required HOME=/home/byron/

Software :: Running A Shell Script From Cron ?

Jul 1, 2010

Im having some difficulties with running a shell script from cron which I am unable to resolve for almost 2 days now.

For testing purposes, im trying this with simple shell script test.sh with chmod 777

This script is located at /var
When I type /var/test.sh it runs perfectly and prints asdasdasd
When I type /var/test.sh > /home/log it writes asdasdasd to /home/log - works

The problem occurs whenever I add it as a cron job to var/spool/cron/crontab/root

There is: 11 10 * * * /var/test.sh > /home/log - however, at 10:11 there is no file at /home/log

Cron as a service works, forexample, every day at 4 am it makes this backup sshpass -p xxxx rsync -avz -e ssh root@x.x.10.7:/data/backup/ /home/backups/isp_admin

However,

doesnt makes the folder

Where is the catch?

Ubuntu :: Script Fails In Cron But Runs Fine In Regular Shell?

Jul 11, 2011

I have an Ubuntu server running Couch Potato, Sick Beard and Sabnzbdplus. Everything "works" pretty well in a sense that CP and SB push the NZB's to Sabnzbdplus, but Sab crashes regularly (haven't found the solution or the cause for this problem, so if you have some advice regarding that, it's welcome).To counter this problem (Sab crashing) I have a script written which checks if Sab is runnning and if it isn't start it:

Code:
bart@Pyro:~$ cat CheckSabRunning.sh

Ubuntu :: Do Cron Updates Erase Cron Entries

Sep 19, 2010

I put in my cron entries to run my backup script which rsyncs my data to my 2nd drive, however on a hunch I checked my backup drive which mounts automatically via fstab and I realize it had not ran in a while. I checked cron and there were no entries for it. I got to wondering if I should ever be worried about a cron update coming down and over-writing my existing cron file with the backup entries in it to run.

Fedora :: No Output From Cron Jobs In /etc/cron.daily

Jan 29, 2011

I have added some executable scripts to /etc/cron.daily but don't get the stdout/stderr output from them as mail (or anywhere else I have found). At least one of them is running (because I can see that it has added a file to the disk).

The peculiar thing is that I do get the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch (part of the logwatch package) as an email each day.

The MAILTO line in /etc/crontab is "MAILTO=root" (unchanged from default). Same for /etc/anacrontab.

I do have an alias at the end of /etc/aliases which redirects root's mail to my own account, but this alias works fine for mail I send manually. (It also appears to work fine for the output from the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.)

CentOS 5 :: Setup A Cron In /var/spool/cron/root

Feb 16, 2010

I have set up a cron in /var/spool/cron/root

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/phplist.sh

I can see in /var/log/cron that it is running every 15 minutes but it has no effect. It is not doing the commands in the bash script.

If I run /usr/bin/phplist.sh right in the shell it works great.

Ubuntu :: Switch Desktop Shell From Unity To Gnome-shell?

Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.

(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)

Programming :: Bash-shell-like Less Functionality In The Python Shell?

Jun 25, 2010

Is there some type of functional way to read things in the Python shell interpreter similar to less or more in the bash (and other) command line shells?

Example:

Code:

>>> import subprocess
>>> help(subprocess)
...
[pages of stuff to read]
...

I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.
