The hint to the problem root cause was given by:
The explanation should be that, when executed from crontab, the environment initialization files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc) are not read, so that the PATH variable is not initialized with the path of the sshpass executable.
Hi there:
I run rsync very well by typing:
rsync -avz /source /destination
Then I want to run it by cron. So I had a crontab file like this:
* * * * * rm file
* * * * * rsync -avz /source /destination > cron_result
(The first line is used to test whether cron is working.)
When I check... (0 Replies)

Hi,
I am running a rsync via cron job.
Its running fine and is scheduled to 9:00 AM everyday.
Sometimes it runs for more than 24 hours, such that the next days cron also fires.
Now how will the sync happen as the <sync file> that both crons have created might conflict.
Thanks (5 Replies)

I have run this cron on other boxes (diff networks) and it works fine...it is just this one. If anyone has any suggestions as to what would be... (5 Replies)

Good morning,
The script below without the hilited text successfully FTPs the files in question to the other server when it is called from the crontab. I don't want to establish an FTP connection when there are no files so I tried including the hilited lines to only establish an FTP connection... (6 Replies)

buildapp
BUILDAPP(1) User Commands BUILDAPP(1)NAME
buildapp - application to create common lisp images
SYNOPSIS
buildapp --output OUTPUT-FILE [--flag1 value1 ...]
DESCRIPTION
Required flags:
--output OUTPUT-FILE
Use OUTPUT-FILE as the name of the executable to create
Entry-point flags:
--entry NAME
Use the function identified by NAME as the executable's toplevel function. Called with SB-EXT:*POSIX-ARGV* as its only argument. If
NAME has a colon, it is treated as a package separator, otherwise CL-USER is the implied package.
--dispatched-entry DNAME
Specify one possible entry function, depending on the name of the file that is used to start the application. The syntax of DNAME is
APPLICATION-NAME/ENTRY-NAME. If the name used to start the executable matches APPLICATION-NAME, use ENTRY-NAME as the entry point.
This can be used to choose one of many possible entry points by e.g. symlinking names to the application executable. If APPLICA-
TION-NAME is empty, the specified ENTRY-NAME is used as a default if no other application names match. There may be any number of
dispatched entry points, but only one default.
Action flags:
--load FILE
Load FILE. CL:*PACKAGE* is bound to the CL-USER package before loading
--load-system NAME
Load an ASDF system identified by NAME
--require NAME
Use CL:REQUIRE to load NAME
--eval CODE
Use CL:EVAL to evaulate CODE. The code is read with CL:READ-FROM-STRING in the CL-USER package
There may be any number of load/load-system/require/eval flags. Each is executed in command-line order before creating an executable.
Load path flags:
--load-path DIRECTORY
When handling a --load, search DIRECTORY for files to load
--asdf-path DIRECTORY
When handling a --load-system, search DIRECTORY for ASDF system files to load
--asdf-tree DIRECTORY
When handling a --load-system, search DIRECTORY and all its subdirectories for ASDF system files to load
There may be any number of load-path/asdf-path/asdf-tree flags. asdf-path arguments take precedence over asdf-tree arguments.
Other flags:
--help Show this usage message
--logfile FILE
Log compilation and load output to FILE
--sbcl PATH-TO-SBCL
Use PATH-TO-SBCL instead of the sbcl program found in your PATH environment variable
