Cron entry do not run on PM hours??

Hi
I have a script in the crontab that strange enough do not run on PM hours like 23:30 or 11:30PM, but it runs at any AM hour like 11:30AM??
Can you help?
regards

Check the script permissions.
Save the cron entries to a file like
crontab -l > somefile
crontab < somefile
crontab -l to check that the entries are there.
it should start executing.
Hope you are running the same script at different hourly frequencies, change it as
30 0,6,12,18,23 * * * /EMM/ftp_last24hours.ksh
30 23 * * * /EMM/scripts/sendtapfiles.ksh
Also, create output and error entries for debugging like
30 0,6,12,18,23 * * * /EMM/ftp_last24hours.ksh 1>/tmp/outfile 2>/tmp/errorfile

User cron jobs won't run without home directory

I have a situation where the users are defined through ldap without home directories, but our application creates cron jobs for these users. If a home directory is defined, the cron jobs run. If no home directory is defined, the cron jobs will not run. Is there a way to configure cron to use a global home directory, instead of the user's home directory?
Kevin

The crontab man page says that cron changes to the users home
directory and then sets up some simple environment and run sh.
it also talks about /etc/cron.d/cron.allow
So it looks like those users need to be given a home directory
like /tmp , but you need to think about the implication, are the accounts locked to stop logins
truss -fpl $(pgrep cron)
might show you what it is doing.
it also talks about /etc/cron.d/cron.allow do you have such a file?

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up

Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP. I have tried a couple of items from your help section and nothing works.

You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Cron job not running - script uses rsync, ssh (with id_rsa)

Does anyone know how to get cron to run a rsync/ssh script which uses id_rsa for passwordless logins?
I have a backup script I have slaved for months over that works wonderfully when running it from the command line.
It uses rsync and connects with SSH (passwordless using ssh keys). I have setup id_rsa and id_rsa.pub for passwordless logins (this is my user account, and connects using root@ to the server)
As stated all works find when run from the command line. But when I setup a cron job to run this file (exact same line I run from the command line) it does not execute. Actually, it does run, as I have an email notifiction which sends to me. It is just the rsync/ssh part that does not run.
I have spent days and days trying to figure it out. No error messages occur, nothing. Took me a while to find out cron is emailing the user account on Lion the messages (not to a proper email address).
The error shows a permission denied, which I believe to be the cron user cannot use the id_rsa/ssh connection.
Cron is running the script as my user, the same I use on the command line. I even tried copying the id_rsa to the root user .ssh folder in case cron is running as root but that does not work either.
So does anyone know how to get cron to run this rsync/ssh script which used id_rsa for passwordless logins?
Thanks a lot

YES! Got it working, finally!
So the issue is indeed cron/launchd not being able to access the ssh-agent which holds the key.
So this is the solution...
Download keychain for Mac:
http://www.funtoo.org/wiki/Keychain
Then once its installed and configured, the script to run needs this added to the top:
eval `keychain --noask --eval id_rsa` || exit 1
Note I am using id_rsa whereas keychains instructions refer to id_dsa so I just changed it and it works OK.
When the script runs the first time it asks for the key password. Then it works from then on.
What I do not know yet is will I need to re-enter the password when I logoff/logon again. That will cause an issue as I auto restart the Mac every day which means if I am off for a few days backup will stop (can you see the madness in this issue!).

TS1286 At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found" My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?

At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found" My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered in trouble shooting articles?

As I mentioned earlier, you have to decide which calendar you want to use. You can either use Google or iCloud, but not both.
If you want to use your iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Calendar section) and set this to your iCloud calendar. After doing so, all new events you add to your calendar will be added by default to your iCloud calendar, and as a result, will appear on icloud.com and your computer (if it is syncing calendars with your iCloud account).
If, on the other hand, you want to use your Google calendar (as it sounds like you are doing with your iPod), simply add the same Google calendar to your phone and your computer.

Kindly help me on this issue.

Is your crontask not running at all or is the scheduled task failing?
Hey Tommy I sent you some replies yesterday; don't know what happened to them. Yes I can see that crond runs every ten minutes. Also when I created the crontab file using the command you sent here I could see that it was running every minute by looking at root mail in /var/log.
Do you have execute permission set on the scripts?
Yes
Any info in /var/log/messages or e-mail?

FOR ALL ENTRIES stmnt. in SELECT query is not running properly

Hello experts,
          In my report program, I write one query on table BSIS.
         Internal table declaration -
       DATA : BEGIN OF DLC_BSIS OCCURS 0,
                        BUKRS LIKE BSIS-BUKRS,
                        GJAHR LIKE BSIS-GJAHR,
                        BELNR LIKE BSIS-BELNR,
                        SHKZG LIKE BSIS-SHKZG,
                        BSCHL LIKE BSIS-BSCHL,

                        HKONT LIKE BSIS-HKONT,
                        QSSKZ LIKE BSIS-QSSKZ,
                        DMBTR LIKE BSIS-DMBTR,
                   END OF DLC_BSIS.
Query as follows --
         SELECT BUKRS
                       GJAHR
                       BELNR
                       AHKZG
                       BSCHL
                       AUFNR
                       HKONT
                       QSSKZ
                        DMBTR FROM BSIS
                                  INTO TABLE DLC_BSIS
                                 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_BKPF2
                                 WHERE BELNR = IT_BKPF2-BELNR
                                              AND BUKRS = IT_BKPF2-BUKRS
                                              AND GJAHR = IT_BKPF2-GJAHR.
IT_BKPF2 internal table having -- BUKRS - LT01
                                                     BELNR - 6400000061
                                                     GJAHR - 2009.
And in BSIS database table -- 3 entries are there for the above documnet.
But, in my internal only one entry has come for the same above document.
I think For all entries stmnt. is not running properly. But Why it's not running properly.??
What would be the reason..??
Thanks in advance....!!

Poonam.

I have downloaded OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store. It took two hours to download but now its not running and I have no idea how to make it run!
Download was complete and I accepted everything and restarted computer but its still running 10.7.5
Any idea how to get OS X Mountain Lion to run?

What you donwloaded was the OS installer. You still have to do the installation.
To get started, double click on the download, then double click again and follow instructions.

CRON did not run, how do I check ?

I defined the cron jobs :
crontab -e
01 14 * * * /bin/sh /mydir/disk_mon.sh
01 14 * * * echo 123 >> /mydir/a.txt
these can be seen by crontab -l
But obviously the cron did not run.
log in as root, i'm able to see the crond service is running.
There is no /ect/cron.allow file
the /etc/cron.deny is empty
What eles I can check?
Thanks

When attempting to install "Software Update" from Apple, the process talls at "Configuring Installation". Even allowing it to run for 24 hours does not result in any progress.

When attempting to install "Software Update" from Apple, the process stalls at "Configuring Installation". Even allowing it to run for 24 hours does not result in any progress.

Thanks for the straightforward tip. I had restarted once already, but the second time was a charm. The install button now works. Don't know if it mattered, but I also repaired disk permissions and then restarted in safe mode this time.
The printer driver is apparently a different issue in itself. It turns out that the my printer, the HP Deskjet F380, has some fluke that makes it incompatible in 10.6. A new driver is coming out from HP according to Rickmeister in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10076690&#10076690
In case anyone else has the same problem with the F380: Like the user in the aforementioned thread, I downloaded and installed the old HP drivers for 10.5, and now at least I can print in the meantime.

ITunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found itunes will install but wont run!!!!!!!!

I updated itunes and it wont work. i unistalled all apple apps, about 5 to 10 times. i get this message on my HP 530,32 bit windows vista. At the top in the error window it says
*iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found* Then under that in the error box it says:
*The procedure entry point*
*QTCF_CFUniCharGetUnicodePropertyDataForPlane could not be located in the dynamic link library QTCF.dll.*
What do i DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!

I found the qtcf.dll file in the sys32 moved it to the desktop tried iTunes and still same error message as above.
Okay ... sometimes there can be multiple copies of them lurking about on a PC.
Try heading into Computer, and typing QTCF.dll in your Search field. When Vista tells you it can't find the file, click "advanced" and tick the "Search hidden, non-indexed and system files (might be slow)" and then start another search.
This search *will indeed be slow.* Wait until the green progress bar up at the top of the screen has completely vanished, otherwise you might accidentally stop the search too soon.
What copies of QTCF.dll do you find, and where are their file locations? (The default location on a 32-bit Vista PC is in C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTCF.dll)

Cronie not running program

I tried to add a command to cron, but it won't run. I'm using crontab -e to edit, and after extensive googling, I can't find the solution to my problem.
this is my crontab:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
* * * * * /usr/bin/notify-send hello
I already checked if cron is running with ps -A|grep 'cron'. It is running. I also tried to read the logs at /var/log/crond.log but the logfile didn't exist.
thanks,
sakekasi

EEM Run Twice an hour

I configured the EEM applet to run every hour, but it turns out that it run 2 times per hour. Right after the applet finish, it starts again for one more time. I suspect the cron is not configured properly. I checked the crontab documentation and I can't find any wrong with it.

This sounds like CSCsz12460 in which cron events can run twice in the same minute (if NTP is being used).

Cron entry do not run on PM hours??
