Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Mac OS X Catalina - NFS File Access Behavior in CRON or Launchd Post 303045430 by bminear on Friday 20th of March 2020 11:31:07 AM

Thanks hth.

1. The script is hard coded, no environment variables.

2. Yes. sudo su - then crontab -e. I've also tried it using Mac OS X's Launchd, which is their cron replacement since they do state that they are deprecating cron. But it didn't make a difference.

3. I should have been more clear about the behavior. The problem is that the hosts files in the NFS dir can't be read. The [ -f .../hosts] test works fine, so the script can access the NFS directory and see that the file exists, but the cat command can't read the actual file. The hosts.base is moot. If I just simply try to "cat /.../nfs/hosts > /etc/hosts" then I end up with a 0 sized /etc/hosts file.

Somehow Mac OS X Catalina is executing the script in some sort of environment differently depending on whether it is launched manually, or from cron/launchd.

NAME
hobbit-enadis.cgi - CGI program to enable/disable Xymon tests SYNOPSIS
hobbit-enadis.cgi (invoked via CGI from webserver) DESCRIPTION
hobbit-enadis.cgi is a CGI tool for disabling and enabling hosts and tests monitored by Xymon. You can disable monitoring of a single test, all tests for a host, or multiple hosts - immediately or at a future point in time. hobbit-enadis.cgi runs as a CGI program, invoked by your webserver. It is normally run via a wrapper shell-script in the secured CGI directory for Xymon. hobbit-enadis.cgi is the back-end script for the enable/disable form present on the "info" status-pages. It can also run in "stand-alone" mode, in which case it displays a web form allowing users to select what to enable or disable. OPTIONS
--no-cookies Normally, hobbit-enadis.cgi uses a cookie sent by the browser to initially filter the list of hosts presented. If this is not desired, you can turn off this behaviour by calling bb-ack.cgi with the --no-cookies option. This would normally be placed in the CGI_ENADIS_OPTS setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5) --env=FILENAME Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI. --area=NAME Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option. FILES
$BBHOME/web/maint_{header,form,footer} HTML template header BUGS
When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the Enable/Disable page if this is accessed from the primary page in which they are defined. So if you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for disabling from their main page which is not what you would expect. SEE ALSO
