Hi

 

I have vu+solo + openpli 4.0, I want to use crontab with somes scripts

 

I have installed busybox-cron and edit crontab with crontab -e

 

root@vusolo:~# crontab -l
1 * * * * /etc/cccamchk.sh >/etc/1.txt

but when I check 1.txt file..already empty

 

if I execute cccamchk.sh manually it's work

 

root@vusolo:~# /etc/cccamchk.sh
CCcam... ok

 

ps command output :

 

997 root      3144 S    crond -c /etc/cron/crontabs

root@vusolo:~# cat /etc/cron/crontabs/root
1 * * * * /etc/cccamchk.sh >/etc/1.txt

Not from me, here cron just works.

Did u use tabs in your crontab times instead of spaces? Mine looks like this:

 

0       0       *       *       *       /bin/sh /etc/dtdns.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

 

I also had to add "/bin/sh" in front of the script I want to run, otherwise it just didn't run.

Then you didn't change the file mode bits of the script to 700 / -rwx------. Chmod u+x script.sh

Thanks for your answers

 

my script :

#!/bin/sh
	sleep 2
	if ps l |grep -v grep |grep -c CCcam >/dev/null
			then
				echo "CCcam... ok"					
			else
				echo "CCcam... restarting"
				/usr/bin/CCcam
	fi
exit

 

file chmod is 755

 

any idea ?

and you get the empty txt file, or no file at all?
just tried your script (w/oscam actually) with cron, and everything seemed to work as expected

note, if you'd like a cronjob to be executed every minute (what I suspect was your intention?), syntax should be:

* * * * * /etc/cccamchk.sh >/etc/1.txt

cronjob as you have defined it (with 1 for minutes), would run your script one minute past every full hour...

Oops

 

you're right, the problem was on my cron task

 

problem resolved
