catpure output of 'top' in a file
Code:
#!/bin/sh echo `date +%F:%T` >> top.out echo `top -n1` >> top.out Hi all, i am trying to capture the output of the 'top' command in linux. when i run the command manually, it works. However, when i run it as a cronjob,the 'top' output is not being printed to the file,only the date is being printed. i have verified that the cron is working in the /var/log/cron file. any advise? i found the mistake. i need to specify -b as as option to top. Code:
top -b -n1 worked. Last edited by new2ss; 11-06-2007 at 05:50 AM.. |

Check the path of top, eg use
which top then use the fully qualified path to the top program in the script. 99% of cron problems are due to the assumptions about the environment. |
