Full Discussion: Cron redirect problem
Operating Systems Solaris Cron redirect problem Post 302379142 by Scott on Wednesday 9th of December 2009 03:56:50 PM

Seems this could go on for days!

You have to take some initiative. Try something different. Does your script direct the output somewhere else? Does it play around with file descriptors? Did you check your mail? If it's not that sensitive, post the script so we can see what it's doing. Change your cronjob to write to /tmp instead of "some_location". Play around with it a bit.

There's no reason I can think why it shouldn't do what you expect, and from what you've given us it should, but it doesn't help if ypur script can only run at 4 in the morning!

MATCHERRC2PERLFILTER.PL(1)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				MATCHERRC2PERLFILTER.PL(1)

NAME

       matcherrc2perlfilter -- Conversion of matcherrc rules to perl

DESCRIPTION

       This script converts matcherrc filtering rules into perl_filter rules for usage with the claws-mail-perl-filter plugin of the Claws Mail
       mailer.

USAGE

       matcherrc2perlfilter

       No arguments required. Conversion is done for current user only.

FILES

       $HOME/.claws-mail/matcherrc
	 Input file where standard filtering rules lie.

       $HOME/.claws-mail/perl_filter
	 Output file written by this script. Converted rules are appended if the file already exists, so be careful when running the script more
	 than once.

BUGS

       This conversion script doesn't produce nice Perl code and is just intended to get you started. If you choose to use the Perl plugin,
       consider rewriting your rules.
