Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script runs manually, but not from cron Post 302974284 by stomp on Friday 27th of May 2016 08:24:33 AM

Maybe the program needs a "terminal" attached to the process.

You may try to use it via screen in detached mode.

Code:
00 10 * * 1-5 screen -d -m /usr/sap/saprouter/scriptname

Probably you must get screen somehow installed first. When screen with the program is running, you can connect to it via screen -r and disconnect with [Ctrl] + [a] then [d].

rancid-run(1)						      General Commands Manual						     rancid-run(1)

NAME
rancid-run - run rancid for each of the groups SYNOPSIS
rancid-run [-V] [-f rancid.conf] [-f rancid.conf] [-m mail_rcpt] [-r device_name] [group [group ...]] DESCRIPTION
rancid-run is a sh(1) script to run rancid(1) for a set of rancid group(s). rancid-run reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then uses control_rancid(1) to run rancid(1) for each rancid group. The set of rancid groups can either be provided as command-line arguments or via the LIST_OF_GROUPS variable in rancid.conf(5), if the group argument is omitted. A lock file is maintained per-group to prevent simultaneous runs for a given group by rancid-run(1). The lock file will be named .<group>.run.lock and will be located in /var/lib/rancid. A log file is produced under $LOGDIR/logs for each rancid group processed. The file name will be <group>.YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS (year month day . hour minute second). rancid-run is normally used to run rancid from cron(8). For example: 0 * * * * /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run The command-line options are as follows: -V Prints package name and version strings. -f rancid.conf Specify an alternate configuration file. -m mail_rcpt Specify the recipient of diff mail, which is normally rancid-<group>. The argument may be a single address, multiple comma separated addresses, or -m may be specified multiple times. -r device_name Run rancid for a single device, device_name. device_name should be name, as it appears in a group's router.db. The device must be marked "up". If a group is not specified on the command-line, rancid will be run against any group in which the device_name appears. The -r option alters the subject line of the diff mail. It will begin with <group name>/<device name> rather than just the group name alone. ENVIRONMENT
rancid-run utilizes the following environment variables from rancid.conf(5). BASEDIR Location of group directories, etc. This is set to the "localstatedir" by the configure script at installation time. LIST_OF_GROUPS List of rancid groups to collect. PATH Search path for utilities. TMPDIR Directory to hold temporary files. ERRORS
If rancid fails to run or collect a device's configuration, the particular group's log file (mentioned above) should be consulted. Any errors produced by the revision control system (CVS or Subversion) or any of the rancid scripts should be included there, whether they be a botched cvs tree, login authentication failure, rancid configuration error, etc. If the log file produces no clues, the next debugging step should be run the commands manually. For example, can the user who runs rancid login to the device with 'clogin hostname', and so on. FILES
