Problem In Executing Script Through Crontab

Hy All,

I have two nodes running RHEL 6.4 which are in cluster. I have clustered httpd service. Now I have certain application suppose X which reside in SAN partition. Now my job is to only automate this script to run by analyzing httpd status. I have successfully created the script apptrigger.sh whose content is given below,

-bash-4.1$ cat apptrigger.sh
a=0
b=0
c=0
d=0
a="service httpd status"
b=`eval $a`
##### CHECKING WHETHER HTTPD SERVICE IS RUNNING OR NOT #####
if [ "$b" != "httpd is stopped" ]; then
c="bash /switchapp/switch/ezlinkenterprise/bin/ezlink-cluster.sh status"
d=`eval $c`
##### CHECKING WHETHER EZ IS RUNNING OR NOT #####
if [ "$d" != "EzTaskMgr is Running" ]; then
ezstart
fi
fi

I have created this script in say test user. Now when I put this script to automate or run every minute through test user and defined its value in crontab -e of test user whose content is as shown below
$crontab -l
* * * * * /bin/bash /home/test/apptrigger.sh

but this script is running as root user so I cannot get the o/p
I think some environment variable need to be set. Anyone can guide me with this step? Thanks for your views and suggestion.

Hi,

I have a written a script:
Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#qz='sqlplus barcqz/xdr56yhn@BARP2'
#wdc='sqlplus barcwdc/xdr56yhn@BARP2'
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
sqlplus barcqz/xdr56yhn@BARP2 <<EOF
update qz_dates set QZ_DT = sysdate;
update qz_dates_back set QZ_DT = sysdate;
update wdc_dates set WDCDATE = sysdate;
update WDC_PAY_EXRATE set WPESENTDATE = to_char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YY:HH:MI:SS') ;
update WDC_OU_STARTTIME set WOSBUSINESSDATE =sysdate;
commit;
exit
EOF

sqlplus barcwdc/xdr56yhn@BARP2 <<EOF
update WDC_PAY_EXRATE set WPESENTDATE=(substr(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),1,10)||'T'||substr(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),12,19));
commit;
exit
EOF

when i run this script on command prompt, it runs well, but when i schedule it in crontab, it gives an error as:

Code:

/devapp1_01/quartz/qzprod1/santosh/scripts/update_date.sh[6]: sqlplus:  not found.
/devapp1_01/quartz/qzprod1/santosh/scripts/update_date.sh[16]: sqlplus:  not found.
/devapp1_01/quartz/qzprod1/santosh/scripts/update_date.sh[6]: sqlplus:  not found.
/devapp1_01/quartz/qzprod1/santosh/scripts/update_date.sh[16]: sqlplus:  not found.

could someone please help on this?

I'm trying to loop through a query in SQLDeveloper by passing the query a different Period and I'm having a problem getting the syntax correct.

Individually the following works correctly on its own:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
 for i in `seq -f "%02g" 1 5`;
    do
    echo $i
 done

$ ./test.sh
1
2
3
4
5

the following also executes correctly:

Quote:
sqlplus table1/$userpass@Mytable <<EOF
@./sqlcode.sql $i
EOF
but when I try to wrap the loop around my sqlplus command

Code:

#! /bin/sh
userpass=read
for i in `seq -f "%01g" 1 3`;
  do
        sqlplus -S  table1/$userpass@Mytable <<EOF
        @./sqlcode.sql $i
        EOF
done

I get the following error:

./test.sh: line 13: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on?

This is my script and the syntax to run this script is give ip and next will be the file or script you want to perform on remote server



#!/bin/bash

# The private key used to identify this machine
IDENTITY_KEY=/home/adnew.pem

syntax()
{
echo "Syntax: Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile]"
echo "For example: ./Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile"
exit 1
}

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
echo not enough arguments
syntax
fi


echo "Running script $2 on $1"
ssh -ttq -i $IDENTITY_KEY ec2-user@$1 sudo -i 'bash -s' < $2
exit
exit
echo "Done"



on script file i have give for testing

touch /root/test
ls /root/test
exit
exit

it makes the file but do not show the ls output by giving error


tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

exit


what I have to do ??

Hi All,

I have perl script which I am trying to run on 1st Monday via cron job.
So I scheduled it as follows:

0 0 1-7 * * root ["$(date '+%a')" = "Mon"] && /usr/bin/perl script.pl

But then it didn't run so checked cron log and it seemed like its missing the command. so added a \ in front of %a and then it picked up the whole command as per cron log.

But still it didnt ran the script. I then change the script to just && echo "test">/tmp/test

Still nothing. if I run it as /usr/bin/perl script.pl it runs though

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have a script where every line needs to be prefixed with sudo.
I was advised to run it as $ sudo /path/to/file.sh

This script needs to be scheduled in crontab to run. If I run it as above, will I be prompted for a password?
Also, one of the lines in the script is;
scp -r root@rem_server:/source/dir /local/dir
Does that mean I will have to provide two passwords: one for sudo and one for root?

Thanks,

I need to compare a value with different fixed value. Below is the code concept I implemented in my bash script but its giving me error.
Here "a' is the nameserver value that I extract using command line from /etc/resolv.conf. I did not put command here.

#! /bin/bash
a=1.2.3.4

if [ $a == 1.2.3.4 || 5.6.7.8 || 8.9.1.4]
then
echo " You have correct ntpserver"
else
echo"wrong ntpserver"

fi

Am I comparing the value correctly or any suggestion?

Thank you

hey guys, sorry for asking a dumb question, but some of the terminology online is not grasping me well, and still leaving me confused


in crontab -e

I have a shell script that contains

rsync /home/willc86 willc86@server02:/home/willc86/backup

the script works good by itself, however i have to put in a password which I understand. i know crontab works, because i used rsync script in the local machine. I am just having problems trying to sync it to another server

how do i get this rsync going in crontab to back it up to another server.

Hi All,

I have two scripts, the aim of these two scripts is, to check whether a particular script is running or not, if it wont runs, then throw a mail.

How i Achieved this output is, I wrote first script.

I created an infinite while loop which performs below steps

1. It creates a touch file
2. Triggers the script which needs to be monitored if its working or not.
3. Removes the touch file.

If the second step fails, then the remove file command will not happen and the script will stuck there itself.

I created an another script which checks the creation time of the touch file and if it is more than ten minutes, it means the second step in the first script is hanged, which also means that particular script is not working.

So if the creation time is more than 2 minutes the second script will throw a mail.

Below are the two scripts.

Code:

#!/bin/ksh



userid="chansd"

filename="/apps/log/check.txt"

while true ;do
touch $filename
pass=`/apps/eDMZ/call_st.ksh $userid`
sleep 20
rm $filename
done

Below script checks the file creation time and throws email if it is older than 2 minutes
Code:

#!/bin/ksh


filename="/apps/log/check.txt"

if [ -f "${filename}" ]
then
if test "`find $filename -mmin +2`"
then
echo "script is not working ! Please act on it" | mail -s "Script  is not working" Example@mail.com
fi


else

        exit 1

fi

What im going to do is

1. I am going to run the first script in background so it runs forever.
2. I am going to run the second script in cron forevry 5 mins to check the file creation time.

3. So if the first script hangs . I will kill the process using process id and after the issue resolves with the inner script, I will run the main script again.

I am new to Linux, Please let me know if this approach will work as expected.

Hi

I have just started to use Linux on my Raspberry Pi to host a home automation server & I'm having a problem when trying to run a bash script.

The script in question is to turn off my Viera TV & is as follows
Code:

#!/bin/sh
curl -i \
-H "Accept: text/xml" \
-H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
-H "Pragma: no-cache" \
-H 'SOAPACTION: "urn:panasonic-com:service:p00NetworkControl:1#X_SendKey"' \
-H "Content-Length: 200" \
-H 'Content-Type: text/xml;charset="utf-8"' \
-X POST --data '<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> \
<s:Body> \
<u:X_SendKey xmlns:u="urn:panasonic-com:service:p00NetworkControl:1"> \
<X_KeyEvent>NRC_POWER-ONOFF</X_KeyEvent> \
</u:X_SendKey> \
</s:Body> \
</s:Envelope>' http://192.168.1.87:55000/nrc/control_0/

If I run this from the command line it works fine but when I try to run it from within the Home Automation application it returns error code 32512 which I've seen elsewhere is actually exit status 127 & basically down to not being able to find the program to execute.

Permissions are fine & I've tried using the full path name for both curl and the script itself but I still get the error. Has anyone any idea what I need to change as this looks to be a pure Linux (or rather my misunderstanding of Linux) issue rather than the home automation program

Thanks

Steve
