Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Rudi, i have made your code in shell script as below

daslog.sh

Code:

grep -E "<(timestamp|severity|message)" das.xml | paste -sd"\t\t\n" | grep -E "ERROR" | tr '\t' '\n' >> dasoutput.log

and set up cronjob like

Code:

 * * * * * /local/flamingo/log/das/daslog.sh >> /local/flamingo/log/das/output.log >> /local/flamingo/log/das/output.log

here the problem is if i run shell script manually it is updating dasoutput.log but through cronjob its not updating dasoutput.log.

That cron job looks suspect. Do you really want it to trun every minute? Do you really need to redirect stdout twice? Do you receive an error mail?


And, the redirection in daslog.sh will override the redirection in crontab. Look for dasoutput.log in the user's home directory.

no for testing , i made it for every minute and i tried with

* * * * * /local/flamingo/log/das/daslog.sh > /local/flamingo/log/das/output.log >> /local/flamingo/log/das/output.log this way also but not working.

Please answer ALL questions.
