Hi,
i have a small problem on my system... I recently wrote a small bash script and added it via crontab -u root -e and it's executed as it should.
Then a few days after i did edit my bash script, but once it is run by cron it doesn't reflect the changes i made to the script. I did manually restart crond, tryed sync, moved my script, renamed it even rstart the server - no success.
If i run my script manually it returns me the expected output.
part of my script (/root/sd.sh):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo -n "Checking Raid... "
RAID=`tw-cli /c0/u0 show status | cut -c17-31 | grep -ci OK`
RAIDSTATUS=`tw-cli /c0/u0 show status | head -n1 | cut -c17-31`
if [ $RAID -eq 0 ]; then
VERIFYING=`tw-cli /c0/u0 show status | cut -c17-31 | grep -ci VERIFYING`
REBUILDING=`tw-cli /c0/u0 show status | cut -c17-31 | grep -ci REBUILDING`
if [ $VERIFYING -eq 1 ]; then
CURRENTSTATUS=`tw-cli /c0/u0 show verifystatus | head -n1 | cut -c46-49`
fi
if [ $REBUILDING -eq 1 ]; then
CURRENTSTATUS=`tw-cli /c0/u0 show rebuildstatus | head -n1 | cut -c47-50`
fi
echo "Raid is busy (Raid $RAIDSTATUS$CURRENTSTATUS)"
exit 1
fi
echo "Raid is idle (Raid $RAIDSTATUS)"
echo -n "Checking for logged in Users... "
USERS=`who | wc -l`
if [ $USERS -gt 0 ]; then
echo "Users online"
exit 1
fi
echo "None logged in"
crontab -l :
Code:
root@monster:~# crontab -l
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command

Code:

Any ideas why? - any help or thoughts appreciated
