View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Scp From Shell Script Using Cron
Oct 12, 2010I 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, 2010I'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, 2010I 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?

Ubuntu :: Timestamp Format - Shell Versus Cron Job
Jun 16, 2010Setup: 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?

Server :: Write A Cron Job To Delete Imap Processes Every Minute
Jan 8, 2010I'm running my website on a linux server. I'm using a mac. Apparently, mac mail has a bug where it creates too many imap processes.
Since I'm on a shared server with a 25 process limit, with 3 email accts x 4+ processes each = a lot of problems!
I'm trying to write a cron job to delete imap processes every minute.
I've tried two things
1) following this blog's advice [URL]
Code:
killall imap
i realised it was imapd not imap, but i tried another method anyway
2) create a kill-imap.sh file in my server folder.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/killall imapd
then executing the file from the cron command /kill-imap.sh
both these cases, it didn't seem to work!
I would get a daemon emai reply with
imapd: no process killed
just to give more info, the existing imap processes look like this
/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd /home/sitename/mail/sitename.com/emailusername
honestly, I'm not too experienced in this, and i've searched the net without luck. can anyone advise what i'm supposed to do to kill these imap processes every 5 min via cron job?
Ubuntu :: Creating Shell Script From Source Code For Cron?
Jan 31, 2010This 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, 2009I'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, 2010Im 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 :: Write A Simple Shell Script And Environment Variables?

Fedora :: Write A Shell Script That Will Look At Each File?
Jul 23, 2010I have a number of text files throughout my /home/pjs/Documents directory tree that have execute permissions set. Almost all of my file names have spaces in them. I am trying to write a shell script that will look at each file in my Documents directory, find the ones that have execute permissions set, and run the command chmod 644. Of course, I don't want the command run on the directories.
The following script *doesn't work*, but might serve to illustrate what I am trying to do:
#!/bin/bash
for x in "$(ls -R)" do
if [ -f "$x" ] && [ -x $x ]; then
chmod 644 "$x"
fi
done
I want each file and directory name to be placed, one by one, in the variable $x, and then tested with the "if" conditionals.
The first problem seems to be that, although the command "ls -R" does produce a complete list of the files and directories I need, they are not placed, one by one, in the variable x like I want them to be.
Also, I think I should use the shift command so that the option -R doesn't get included as one of the values of the variable $x, but I can't figure out where to put it.
