Cron job is not running
Hi,

I have set up the crontab as follows.

Code:
root@IDC4VASAPP07 # crontab -l
0-59 * * * * /var/tmp/r.sh
0-59 * * * * date >> /var/tmp/log
root@IDC4VASAPP07 #



r.sh is as follows.

Code:










Code:



root@IDC4VASAPP07 # cat r.sh
#!/bin/bash
dt1=$(perl -e 'use POSIX;print strftime "%d-%m-%Y-%M",localtime time-86400;')
mv local0.log local0.log.$dt1
mv local1.log local1.log.$dt1
mv local2.log local2.log.$dt1
mv local3.log local3.log.$dt1
mv local4.log local4.log.$dt1
mv local7.log local7.log.$dt1
mv snmpd.syslog snmpd.syslog.$dt1
echo "ran at $dt1" >> log
unset dt1
touch local0.log
touch local1.log
touch local2.log
touch local3.log
touch local4.log
touch local7.log
touch snmpd.syslog
root@IDC4VASAPP07 #









 

But r.sh is not getting executed.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

Sunil

logger








LOGGER(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 LOGGER(1)

NAME

     logger -- make entries in the system log

SYNOPSIS

     logger [-is] [-f file] [-p pri] [-t tag] [message ...]

DESCRIPTION

     Logger provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module.

     Options:

     -i       Log the process id of the logger process with each line.

     -s       Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.

     -f file  Log the specified file.

     -p pri   Enter the message with the specified priority.  The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair.  For
	      example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility.  The default is ``user.notice.''

     -t tag   Mark every line in the log with the specified tag.

     message  Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.

     The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

	   logger System rebooted

	   logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc

SEE ALSO

     syslog(3), syslogd(8)

STANDARDS

     The logger utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
