Cron.hourly jobs not being done

Hi.
I've just completed a clean re-install. However a script I placed in /etc/cron.hourly only gets run every two hours. At first I thought I had made a mistake with the script so I added a 'logging' entry in the script and also in the file /etc/cron.hourly/adjtime. These and the /var/spool/cronstamps/root.sys-hourly entry confirm that they are only being run every two hours. I have been monitoring this for about 20 hours over three days and it is consistant. dcron version is 4.4-2. I have no idea what is wrong or how to sort it.
TIA

Thanks for the reply. Of coarse the UK went to summer time last weekend. I'll use the same work around until it's fixed.
Thanks again.

You iPod has been jail broken. Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
Good luck...you're gonna need it....

Control chart limit calculation not being done

Hi
I have maintained MIC, sampling procedure and Insp plan for a char and have made two lots with them. Though charts are being displayed correctly, control limit calculation is not being possible. Msg is "Control limits for track 1 could not be calculated".
What customization should be made for this?
And in QGC1/2/3, only one insp lot is there, what went wrong?

Dear Gajesh,
I tried with status 3. When i remove lot created start date, it shows me the fist lot with which we statred SPC in SAP. But If i put any specified start date, it returns no value. Does that mean with status 3 it will show the very 1st lot with which SPC usage started? Then what are the cases for status 1 and 5?
My sampling procedure setting is:
sampling type: Fixed sample
Valuation mode: SPC inspection
W/O inspection point
Sample size: 1
Chart type:115 Shewhart chart for X bar/USA
Inspection plan setting is:
SPC criterion : 020 task list char/materia
Base qty : 1KG
Thanks!

Jobs not being activated.

I am triggering a job via infopackage and noticed that in R/3 the job is in Release status, how do i make this Active?

Hi,
Select the released job and from the job menu, select released -> Scheduled.
Now select the scheduled job and go to job->change. Here, change the start condition to immediate and save. If any work processor is available, it becomes active. Otherwise, it starts to wait for one.
Thanks and Regards

Please help with cron hourly

I have following script in /etc/cron.hourly
#!/bin/sh
su -l archie -c "ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=10 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -n -N -T -R 10002:localhost:22 [email protected]"
It's doing reverse ssh connection to linux.box, problem I have is that when it runs it doesn't go to the background any my cron.hourly job just stays in the process list:
root 1904 0.0 0.2 2776 1188 ? S 17:01 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.hourly
root 1905 0.0 0.2 2776 1152 ? S 17:01 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.hourly/reverse_ssh
root 1906 0.0 0.1 2200 864 ? S 17:01 0:00 su -l archie -c ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o
archie 1907 0.0 0.4 6072 2480 ? R 17:01 0:00 ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=10 -o
How do I run reverse_ssh script so that run-cron releases it?
Thanks very much for your help

Tomas

1. Doing this:
command &
exit 0
will always be the same as doing this:
command &
2. You could include your entire script in the crontab line. But of course you don't need to.
3. Since you're backgrounding the ssh tunnel (whether using '&' or by using the '-f' flag), cron will see the process _it_ started as having completed. So an hour later, it won't refrain from running the job again (it would refrain if the process it started were still running). So you're going to get repeated attempts to open this tunnel, even if it's already open. I guess they'll fail, since port 10002 on your server is already bound to the existing tunnel. But it may generate lots of error output? Are you having the output of your cron jobs mailed to the local owner of the job (this is the default)?
4. If you wanted to keep the tunnel open all the time, and reopen it when it fails, what you're doing is one way to achieve that. If on the other hand you just want the tunnel open for a short time, you could change your ssh line from
ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=10 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -n -N -T -R 10002:localhost:22 [email protected] &
to
ssh -o TCPKeepAlive=no -o ServerAliveInterval=10 -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -n -f -T -R 10002:localhost:22 [email protected] sleep 10
This replaces the no-command switch "-N" with the command "sleep 10", and uses the "-f" flag instead of "&". It will hold the tunnel open for 10 seconds. If some other process uses the tunnel within 10 seconds, tunnel will continue to stay open until that process (and all other processes) stop using it. You can make the sleep for longer if you like.

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!).

SQL Server Agent - Job History not being recorded (SQL Server 2005)

I have been trying to get to the bottom of an issue with SQL Server Agent not recording any job history. I am using SQL Server 2005 on a single Windows Server 2008 machine (i.e. no other domain controllers/active directory servers).
The SQL Server Agent service is configured to 'Log On As' NT user account 'sqlagent'. The jobs themselves are executed successfully (all 'Transact-SQL' type steps actually use the 'sa' account) however the there is no actual job history to be found for any
of the jobs -- in the SQL Activity monitor, the 'Last Run Outcome' is always 'Unknown' and the 'Last Run' date is always 'Never' for all jobs; in the SQL Job History Viewer there are no entries for any instances of a job being executed.
The 'sqlagent' NT user account ia a member of the 'Administrators' NT group; the 'Administrators' group appears under Security > Logins on the database server. I have another server that also uses the same setup with a 'sqlagent' NT user account, on that
database server the 'sqlagent' user account appears under Security > Logins and the SQL job history works correctly. I have attempted to add the 'sqlagent' to the Logins on the affected server using the SQL Server Surface Area configuration but this operation
returns an error, detailed below.
Additionally, I have attempted to use the built-in NT system account 'NETWORKSEVICES' to run the SQL Agent Service but this also results in exceptions in the error log and no job history being recorded. The entries in the error logs are very similar to those
from the 'sqlagent' NT user account but instead the user is referred to as 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' in the error logs, again these are detailed below.
Many thanks in advance for anyone's time and help with this issue!

Hi Rama,
Thanks for your reply. I have run the query you specified and can see only one entry with "NTLM" in the auth_scheme column, all of the rest have "SQL". It figures that the entry with "NTLM" is relating to the one NT user account that can successfully log
in to the service (as mentioned in my reply to Nag above, this is the NT user account that installed the service on the machine). I have also executed the same query on the other machine that I mentioned in my original post and this contains two "NTLM" entries,
I'd assume that these relate to the NT user that installed the software and the correctly working "sqlagent" NT user account that is correctly logging the job history on that machine.
I think the problem is very much to do with granting access to new NT user accounts, as per the KB article that you have quoted above. In this case, it is not relating to scenarios 1 or 2 as these relate to SQL Server logins and this issue is about a Windows
Authentication login. As I mentioned to Nag above, I am unable to grant any NT user accounts with access to the service however the NT accounts are all defined locally on the same machine as the SQL server is installed (i.e. there is no domain controller,
active directory controller, etc) so I don't understand how the Windows login cannot be verified.
Any further advice on the issue would be greatly appreciated, please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help diagnose the problem.
Many thanks!

My iPhone 5c is not being recognized by my mac except to charge it. I'm up to date on all updates and don't know what else to do. I have restarted several times. I have even tried to update my iPhoto and I can't even do that with iPhoto 9.0, but can't.

My Iphone 5c is not being recognized by my Mac computer. I have done all of the upates, restarted several times and I'm not sure what else to do. I have searched and searched and searched and have come up with nothing. Also, my Iphoto can not be updated. I'm still using version 8. something, and it won't update without this update and that update. It needs 9.0 but I can't find that download anywhere. The only one that I can find is 9.1. That won't update. Is there anything that I can do, or should I just bite it and take it to apple to get looked at?

Does iTunes not see the phone?
If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos.

I am trying to set up iTunes match on my apple tv, but it just keeps showing that it is loading, it has been running for over an hour, what can be done here, it has gone with no problem on my iPhone, iPad but not the tv

Same here and this is driving me crazy. I can buy, but can't upgrade. Grrr.

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

HT2534 in my iphone5 'none' option for credit card is not being appeared. May be because of software upgrade or wot it is really not good as i don't want to share my credit card number.

the 'none' option under payment methods is not being appeared in my iphone 5 as i don't want to share my credit card info. and my id stuck over that point as i am not abble to skip this step and it is a must option to select a credit card type and give a real credit card details. This is really not good.

You have to enter your credit card number and some amount would be debited from your account(60 rs in india)
After registration, You can Go to
1 Settings
2.Itunes&App Store
3.Click on your apple id .
4.Select View Apple ID
5.Slecet Payment Info
And You can find NONE here.
Please select NONE to delete your credit card numbe r from the list
But While registering you cant find NONE, you have to enter the cc number.
Thank You

Process order - The hour details are not being pulled through

Hi friends,
Details of Issue:
COR3 - Our Production Department have entered hours into COR6N as usual but these hours are not pulling through to the actual section in costs analysis screen.
Reason:
CORT - Process order xxxx , counter 36 & 37 - indicates hours are captured during process order confirmation.
and
C203 - We have found that the Activity Type ZFOH07, which is showing the consolidated value of all the other activity types like ZLBR06, ZVOH06 & ZFOH06, in cost analysis report. In the process order xxxx master recipe xxxx is being used, in which this single activity type ZF0H07 is assigned multiple times. Hence after the confirmation of the process order, all values related to other activity are following into a single activity type ZFOH07.
Solution:
C202 - However, when I tried to change the Master Recipe, it is not in disply mode.
CORS, COR2 - Without make the changes to recipe, how can we proceed to cance all comfirmations and read PP master data in process order.

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

If you're just doing it in a back and forth or spiral fashion, you don't need to check whether a square's been filled in. You just go from a start point to an end point. Those points and the squares in between are determined by simple arithmetic.
If you're doing it randomly, I wouldn't use the GUI elements themselves. I'd have, for example, and array of booleans that tells whether each square has been filled in.
