Shell Programming and Scripting

for ftp , all and no proxy : no display

when I run the script on the command line I get the two addresses for http proxy and https proxy and nothing else

Code:

proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128 
proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128

but when I run it with crontab I get nothing at all

Moderator's Comments:

Please use CODE tags as required by forum rules!

Give it a try setting the two in your cron script.

how can I do that plz ?

Try

Code:

http_proxy="proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128"
HTTPS_PROXY="proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128"

Without these variables, the cron-run script will not know how to get out of your network. Why would it? These are probably in a profile for you somewhere.

You can explicitly set them in your cron-run script, or if it might be called from the command line and people may want to use their own, you could:-

Code:

http_proxy="${http_proxy:-proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128}"

This will use the value proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128 for http_proxy if the variable has not been set yet, i.e. this is a default but an existing setting will be retained.


Obviously do the same thing for the https_proxy variable too.

I hope that this helps,

I got this error

Code:

0curl: (5) Could not resolve proxy: ${https_proxy; Name or service not known

Is this the right syntax :

Code:

 http_proxy="${http_proxy:-proxy.speria.saint-trop.net:3128}"

??

Thank you sooooooo much guys , it works :-)

If it's working, would you care to share the completed solution (or the relevant bits) for anyone finding this script with a similar problem in future?




Thanks, in advance,
