Hey out there. I have a .sh file I am calling from cron that I am trying to use to shut down the app at midnight. I have a file that does it and works just fine if I run it by typing "bash crontabstop.sh" from a command prompt. But if I call the file from a crontab I get this output.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/prod/app/iplax/current/IPWorkers/bin/crontabstop.sh: whoami: not found
IP Web App wasn't running.
Stop webapp complete.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the webapp never shuts down
This is the contents of the file. What do I need to do to get this to run when calling this file from crontab?
Code:
pid=`whoami`
if [ "$pid" != '' ] ; then
cd ~
stop
else
echo "IP Web App wasn't running."
fi
echo " "
echo "Stop webapp complete."
