I've got an *extremely* simple script I want to run every minute:
So, the script is called "status", it's executable, and in the correct path, etc. In a terminal window (I'm using Mac OS X), I can type status, and it will create onlinestatus.txt with the ping output in it. Everything seems to be working fine.
HOWEVER, when I put the command in my crontab as
* * * * * status
It doesn't work. Or, to be more precise, it creates an *empty* onlinestatus.txt file. I can use Cronnix (a GUI crontab editor) to force the command to run. When I do that, onlinestatus.txt *does* contain the ping output; it seems like it's only when cron runs it at the scheduled interval that the text file comes out empty.
I'm *thoroughly* confused. If it didn't work *at all*, I could deal with it, but this behavior doesn't seem to make any sense. Any suggestions?

The script is set to put the output in a specific directory. Any help would be appreciated. (8 Replies)
tgt-setup-lun(8) System Manager's Manual tgt-setup-lun(8)NAME
tgt-setup-lun - creates a target, adds a device to the target and defines initiators that can connect to the target
SYNOPSIS
tgt-setup-lun -d device -n target_name [initiator_IP1 initiator_IP2 ...] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
Starts tgtd if necessary and creates a target according to the supplied target_name. The format of the target name is as follows:
iqn.2001-04.com.<hostname>-<target_name> The target name must be unique.
The script then adds the requested device to the target. If specific IP addresses are defined, it adds them to the list of allowed initia-
tors for that target. If no IP addresses is defined, it defines that the target accepts any initiator.
EXAMPLES
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81 and 192.168.10.82:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 192.168.10.82
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections from any initiator:
tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target
Display help:
tgt-setup-lun -h
