Script runs fine, but not in a cron
Okay, I have the following script that runs fine from a command line as well as an executable .sh file. It just moves any file/folder with movie* in the name to a folder called _Movies. The issue I'm running into is when it's call from a cron. Code:
find /mnt/HD_a2/BT/complete -iname "movie.*" -exec mv {} /mnt/HD_a2/BT/complete/_Movies \;Crontab looks like the following, with my scripts being called move_downloads.sh Code:
32 2 * * * /usr/sbin/rtc -s 30 2 2 * * /usr/sbin/rtc -c 59 1 * * * /usr/sbin/daylight & */10 * * * * /usr/sbin/offl_chk two & */60 * * * * /usr/sbin/getdhcp& * * * * * /ffp/sbin/move_downloads.sh >> /mnt/HD_a2/move_downloads.log 2>&1 I realize it's running every minute, but it's set that way while I debug it. I get the following in the log file, and the movie does not move when the cron job is ran. Code:
BusyBox v1.00-pre1 (2008.09.02-11:43+0000) multi-call binary Usage: find [PATH...] [EXPRESSION] Any ideas? I'm going crazy trying to figure out what could be wrong. Thanks! |

hello, when you remove the Code:
2>&1 part it will work. I think the answer is hidden in this link that i saw a few days ago here : http://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...login-csh.html |

export PATH=/ffp/sbin:/ffp/bin:$PATH By the way do you know this forum: DSM-G600, DNS-323 and TS-I300 Hack Forum? This would be a good place to raise such issue. Cheers, Loïc. Last edited by Loic Domaigne; 01-24-2010 at 03:28 PM.. Reason: grammar |
