IDL job doesn't work from crontab
I have made a script to execute an IDL routine with the purpose to plot data on a fixed time.
The problem is that when I include this script in the crontab to run it every night, the IDL part doesn't work (the other commands, like getting data from the database, are carried out though). This is what it looks like: Relevant part of the script set idl_latest = latest.dat foreach location ("001" "002" "003" "004") echo $date >> $idl_latest echo $stn >> $idl_latest setenv IDL_STARTUP plot_day_latest /usr/local/bin/idl unsetenv IDL_STARTUP convert -format jpeg -quality 100 plot_day_latest.eps plot_day_latest.jpg set filename = "plot_day_latest_"$location".jpg" mv plot_day_latest.jpg $filename endif The 'plot_day_latest' script openr,1,'latest.dat' datum="" station="" readf,1,dat readf,1,loc close,1 plot_day,dat,loc retall exit Finally, the IDL routine plot_day.pro expects a date (dat) and location (loc) and subsequently reads the right files for plotting. Anybody knows what is going wrong? The script works fine when I run it manually, but not from cron. |
