Hi, I'm trying to run my first cron job, probably it's missing something.
I created a perl script just to test, it's called "teste" -
!/usr/bin/perl
-
open(DATA,">>/home/joao/files/output");
-
@Now = localtime(time);
-
print DATA "@Now\n";
-
exit ;
-
I created the file "teste.cron " with the cron job. it's only a line with:
* * * * * /home/joao/files/teste
I uploaded the cron job with "crontab teste.cron"
Shouldn't this be writing the date and time every minute in the file "output"?
When I run my script manually it writes correctly in the file "output";
If I type "crontab -l" I can see my cron job loaded;
can somebody give me an hand?
thanks,
Joćo

I am not sure if you got this issue resolved. If not the there is an article that may help you.
thanks for your help. I didn“t solve this problem at the time but get my goal monitoring a folder pernmanently and triggering when occured changes instead of running the code in a cron job. Anyway i'll read the article for further using.
thanks,
Joćo

Personally, I would want to see what cron is saying since it runs silently. So, that said, I would change the entry to be:
* * * * * /home/joao/files/teste > /home/joao/files/cronjob.log
and see if the log file shows anything happening.
The entry looks right and the code, aside from having asthetic issues (ie: no "use warnings" or "use strict") seems to look like it would work. Try that and see what is output to the log file.

Jeff

Did you try to Google for "cron windows"? There seem to be several projects that provide cron functionality on windows.

Is there a way to get my script to run on regularly scheduled intervals
without using cron? My hosting provider sucks... cannot use cron... I was
thinking perhaps I could create a file every hour in a certain directory and
then fire the script when the file count reaches a certain number, and then
clear out the directory... or something like that. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

besides the php scripts, i have other scripts run under cron jobs, such
as perl scripts and log files. I couldnt understand why my php scripts

Hello all,
I am attempting to execute an automated test (written in Python) via

under cron the HOSTNAME environment variable is not in the os.environ

of the normally set environment variables. HOSTNAME is not one of those
variables, it is set even in cron's subshell. Why doesn't python get...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
