Now the script poll.sh is called at correct time and executes.
This is how poll.sh looks like
Code:
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games .... BIG path
# Just load required envn variables
. ~user/.envvariables
# Now execute a perl program and email me the output ...
VAL=$(~users/jobs/fetchNprocess.pl 2>/dev/null)
echo $VAL | mail -s "Processed data for today: `date`" dummy@newsasnow.com 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
#### Here are some method already tried
#### Just do everything in one line
# ~users/jobs/fetchNprocess.pl 2>/dev/null | mail -s "Processed data for today: `date`" dummy@newsasnow.com 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
### Process and send as body
# mail -s "Processed data for today: `date`" dummy@newsasnow.com < `echo $VAL` 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
the output of the perl program (fetchNprocess.pl) is as below(when I run manually not cron):
Code:
Processing DATA for 1: 123324534 213w1312 asdasd [DONE]
Processing DATA for 2: 123324534 213w1312 asdasd [DONE]
Processing DATA for 3: 123324534 213w1312 asdasd [DONE]
Processing DATA for 4: 123324534 213w1312 asdasd [DONE]
Processing DATA for 5: 123324534 213w1312 asdasd [DONE]
5
The output contains many lines also empty lines The output I get after cron runs in only first line in my email.
Code:
Processing DATA for 1: 123324534 213w1312 asdasd [DONE]
It does not process all the lines ...
When I run the same program manually it works fine.
As far as crontab goes I took care of path and right env variables.
Any suggestion what could have cause the perl program to do only one iteration.
