At command not running out of hours
Hi All,

new to the forum and new to Unix but I have an issue which is annoying on a new level. I have included a short and full version for anyone needing more information.

Short Version

I am running a set of scripts that work and run fine. one of the scripts arranges the first script to run the day after at 19:00. The scripts run fine and I have even at 9am in the morning, set the first script to run at 3PM and it works yet 7PM comes around and the script doesn't run.

Full Version

I'm trying to schedule scripts to run the following tasks at 7PM in the evening.

Snapshot all servers
Export all snapshots to storage
Delete all snapshots
Re-Schedule the job for the following day.

I just want to start by saying this is the first time I've done anything like this and I understand that what I've created is incredibly basic and could be done 1000% times easier but for that I need more knowledge and I really need to get this working before I can develop the process a bit more.

so here is how I'm doing it. I have 3 scripts which are as followed

  • Backups: This will run Schedule_Job_Script then Run_Backup_Script
  • Schedule_Job_Script: This will run at 19:00 tomorrow <<< "Backups"
  • Run_Backups_Scripts: This will run the backup jobs

these all work fine and do what I need them to do. I have even at 9AM set the backups script to run at 3PM in the afternoon and it works fine and the new job is created fine. It seems that the script will not run at 19:00 and I have no idea why.

As I said before this is the first time I've used Unix and have no knowledge of troubleshooting.

If someone could suggest a possible reason to this happening or point me in the right direction of finding out why its happing I would be hugely grateful.

Thanks
Del

vboxbeep

vboxbeep(1)						    Linux System Administration 					       vboxbeep(1)

NAME

       vboxbeep - isdn voice box (beeper)

SYNOPSIS

       vboxbeep [OPTION] [OPTION] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       vboxbeep is a daemon, that watches several message directories. If new messages are found it will beep. Vboxbeep does not use vboxd, it can
       only watch local directories.

       Vboxbeep is also used to stop this annoying beep.

OPTIONS

       Without any options, vboxbeep will signal an already running vboxbeep to stop its beep. Only root can start it as daemon.

       -s, --sound HOURS
	      Hours to play beep signal. Use 24 hour format, like 0-23. Multiple hours can be given separated by commas, a "*" is used for always,
	      "-" for never.

       -m, --messagebox DIR
	      Message directory to scan. You can use this option several times.

       -p, --pause SECS
	      Time to wait between every check. Default is 5 seconds.

       -k, --kill
	      Kill a running vboxbeep. This option can only be used by root.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

NOTE

       vboxbeep  will  only work if it is installed suid root. This may be a security hole, so many distributions do not install it suid root, and
       thus it's useless. If you want to enable vboxbeep, please read the distribution-specific documentation how to do  that  (e.g.  with  debian
       gnu/linux read /usr/doc/isdnutils/README.debian).
