crontab question

[dotslasher]

hi i added the following lines to my crontab

Code: Select all

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/joshua/RedRaven/RedRaven.botchk >/dev/null 2>&1
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/joshua/BlueRaven/BlueRaven.botchk >/dev/null 2>&1
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/joshua/Serenac/Serenac.botchk >/dev/null 2>&1
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/joshua/BlueRaven/stats >/dev/null 2>&1
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/joshua/pisg-0.48/pisg >/dev/null 2>&1

but apearantly that isnt working.

the main thing i want to get to work is the "stats" and "pisg"

i made the following scripty called "stats" it connects to the ftp logs in drops the files and quits

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cat <<_EOF_ | ftp -n
open ftp.MYFTP.net
user MYLOGIN MYPASSWORD
put /home/joshua/pisg-0.48/utgames.html utgames.html
put /home/joshua/pisg-0.48/bot.html bot.html
put /home/joshua/pisg-0.48/raven.html raven.html
put /home/joshua/pisg-0.48/floridachat.html floridachat.html
bye
_EOF_

the script worx when i execute it manually: --> ./stats but it doesnt run at certain times using the contrab same problem with the pisg thing.
does anyone have any suggestions?

If it is failing, you need to ask your shell provider if they are even running the cron deamon.

Otherwise, remove the " >/dev/null 2>&1" off the end of each line. The shell should e-mail you if it fails.

Hi,

I have used pisg for some time now. I also use a private box that is setup perfectly for what I need.

This is my crontab entry: 0,30 * * * * ~/public_html/stats/pisgchek >/dev/null 2>&1

This is the text within pisgchek:

#!/bin/sh

statsbin="./pisg"
statpath="/home/wombles/public_html/stats"

cd $statpath

$statsbin

The above crontab entry runs pisg every 30 minutes. Any file run by crontab should have the correct permissions set: chmod u+x
