Ubuntu :: Setup A Cron Job To Run Every Day At 13:00?
Jun 15, 2011
I've setup a cron job to run every day at 13:00. When I run it manually it works but with the cron it doesn't
this is the log:
Code:
Jun 14 13:00:01 testserver CRON[5662]: (scialom) CMD (lynx http://www.something.com/sms_reminder.php # JOB_ID_4)
Jun 14 13:00:02 testserver CRON[5661]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

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.

I'm trying to set up a simple backup script with cron.
In "crontab -e" (and sudo crontab-e - I tried both) I enter "0 22 * * * /home/USERNAME/.backup.sh", with the hope that it will run the script at 10pm each day. The srcipt work fine if I run in a terminal. why it won't work? It's bound to be something obvious....

I am trying to use streamer to set up a cron job to take a picture with my webcam once/minute. The image that it is capturing is too dark - does anyone know a way to lighten it? I am capturing the image as JPEG.

If I wanted to schedule a perl script to run every weekday at 1800 hours, should I setup a cron job. once I do so, if I want to cancel it, how do I undo it. Do I have to just type this at the shell prompt to set up:
Code:
0 18 * * 1-5 root /home/test.pl

It seems that cron is not upgrading my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no GUI installed. I changed /etc/crontab and watched apt running:
Code:
ps -A | grep apt
showed it for a long time,
Code:
sudo tcpdump tcp
showed communication with canonical sites,
but:
Code:
top
did not show any apt using CPU

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.

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.)

I ended up setting up a basic linux file server as a pdc for that office. Our main office is a windows 2000 ads domain. The two offices are connected with a vpn. I only have two users at the new location so I simply have the linux and samba usernames/passwords setup manually. I would like to know if it is possible to setup a domain trust between the two sites so I don't have to create a username/password in the remote site for every user at the main office to access. I did some searching but came up empty.

I want to setup a FAI server for which I was looking for the best method of mirroring the Debian Lenny. I want to setup a local mirror with the best method available for mirroring. If it is ftpsync, please provide me some best ways of doing it. I tried ftpsync mirroring but that was not getting properly working due to insufficient I want this mirror to be accessible in my FAI setup so that I can start the installation on multiple machines and start the updates and package installation to be done from the same local mirror.

I've been all afternoon trying to install Ubuntu Lucid on my fakeRAID 0 configured (2) HDDs and am unable to set GRUB up. The fake RAID setup is provided by Intel Matrix Storage Manager, it is correctly enabled and the BIOS is also correctly set up -- in fact, I've managed to install Windows 7 with no significant hitch. After struggling with partioning the drives (had to follow advice I found on a very helpful guide online [0]), creating the filesystems AND getting Ubuntu's installer to actually do what it is supposed to do, I now cannot seem to set GRUB up. My system, as it stands, is unbootable at all; via live CD only.
This is how the RAID0 dev is partitioned:
Code:
# fdisk -l /dev/mapper/isw_ecdeiihbfi_Volume0
Disk /dev/mapper/isw_ecdeiihbfi_Volume0: 1000.2 GB, 1000210694144 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121602 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 131072 bytes / 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x6634b2b5 .....

Im trying to set up my workflow to a terminal-based setup, so that accessing my computer through SSH will provide many of the things I need and use right off the bat. I have Mutt working great with my GMail account, so that's good. I do have a question though. Using the application Calcurse (featured on Lifehacker a few days ago, [URL] I am at a loss to figure out how to interface with Google Calendar. Is there a trick that Im missing, or does anyone know of another terminal app that plays better with Google Calendar?
Also, I was looking for a 'Digital Clock', essentially, again, a terminal/text based large print clock; similar to the one in the lower left corner on the attached pic. I was looking for a telnet server from the Atomic Clock, but no such luck so far.....

So I didn't notice when I setup my CentOS 5.5 server that I left / as RAID 0 on md1. All the rest are RAID 1. Is there a way I can modify the array to RAID 1 without a risk of data loss? I'm glad I caught this before I setup any other services. I've only setup smb so far...
[root@ftpserver ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Im trying to setup multiple domU through the default bridge setup. I am able to access only one of them through the network at a time. If you ping one of the domU it works perfectly but you cannot ping any of the others until you stop pinging the one and even then it takes a bit before you can. Ive looked around for a while and seen similar problems but nothing ever seems quite the same. Im probably missing something really stupid. Or is this the way the bridge is supposed to behave? Do i need to use a routed virtual network?

Here is a thought experiment:
1. Copy vmlinuz and initrd.img from isolinux subdir into /boot
2. Adjust grub.conf to boot to that kernel
3. Reboot to setup
4. Format /boot (actually '/' ) during "fresh install"
5. Proceed with the installation-over-network
I see two possible outcomes:
1. The setup fails to reformat the drive, because it is "in use" by boot kernel
2. The partition is not "in use" and the installation succeeds
Why? Old cluster with broken CD-drives, lacking USB, and no separate /boot partition.

I have this script:
#!/bin/bash
## cifro un fichero
/usr/bin/gpg --encrypt --batch --no-tty --yes --recipient Mypubkey /home/joseba/salida.txt > /home/joseba/logcronjob.txt
#EOF
If I use the line
joseba@server$ /usr/bin/gpg --encrypt --batch --no-tty --yes --recipient Mypubkey /home/joseba/salida.txt > /home/joseba/logcronjob.txt
I dont have problems, salida.txt has encrypted
But by crontab -e (for user joseba) dont work and dont encrypt nothing If I use 'sudo crontab -e' same result, dont work
Mypubkey exists
On logcronjob.txt nothing, 0 bytes I think env its ok for the users

With new installs of openSuse 11.4 I've hit a printer problem. I can run hp-setup (or hp-toolbox) for the wireless Officejet j6410 and it is recognised. The right driver is selected. Then when I choose add printer it all falls over with the error message: error: Printer queue setup failed. Could not connect to CUPS Server Is user added to "lp" group(s) error: Fax queue setup failed. Please restart CUPS and try again.
The user is added to the lp group. I have this problem with my 64 bit desktop and 32 bit laptop installs of 11.4, it all worked perfectly in 11.2. I've used the Cups web interface to set up the printer now and can print from both machines, but I would prefer to use the hp-toolbox, which has several convenient features. Where do I go from here?

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and previously had a separate partition with another distro on it. I decided to delete the other distro's home and swap partitions and install XP in place of it. I've been following these instructions: [URL] and [URL] I have gotten to the point where I am booting to the XP CD and want to install it, but I get the message, "Setup did not find any hard disks installed on your computer" when I should be getting to the screen that asks me to select a partition to install XP on. This is what my HDD looks like in GParted:
I want to install XP in the unallocated partition, but I have a feeling I screwed up somewhere along the way and probably don't fully understand the whole thing. Even if I try to format the unallocated partition to NTFS I can't make it a primary partition (I assume because it's within sda2). The very last thing I want to do is delete my Ubuntu partition and start from scratch, but if that's my last option let me know.

I've been trying to accomplish this on my own, but I can't seem to figure it out...
All I'm trying to do (for learning purposes) is to get a message to print out to a log file every 5 minutes.
This is on Ubuntu Server 6.06.
Logged in as root ( I know, I know, should have sudo'd, oh well... )
Created a new file with this in it:
Code:
Added this line:
Code:
( I wasn't sure the proper command to try every 5 minutes, but this is my latest iteration. I also started with just */5, and that didn't seem to work either. )
Saved and exited crontab.
Console reports:
Quote:
Using command: ps -ef | grep cron
Quote:
So I waited 10 minutes to be safe.... and saw no log file appear.
I checked this page here: [url]
I wasn't sure what it meant by the PATH= variable they wanted me to set, my /etc/crontab file states:
Code:
But I didn't know if it meant there, or in my crontab -e location, so after the first failed attempt, I added the line from that webpage as well to crontab -e:
Code:
Waited another 10 minutes to be safe, still nothing.

why my second cron job isn't running? The first one runs fine but the second one does not run at all. If I manually run the script using ./check.sh then it does what it is supposed to but will not run from cron. It should run every weekday at 9:45am, it looks good to me but clearly I am doing something wrong.
Code:
# m h dom mon dow command
#This will backup my hosted websites.
0 2 * * * /home/bob/scripts/websitebakscript.sh
#This will run check and upload it's contents to the net.
45 9 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/bob/scripts/check.sh
