Cron Job and PHP

I am having problems running a cron job every one minute that calls a PHP script. Please see below:
1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /Library/WebServer/Documents/secureohs/publichtml/reassignMSCcomptrack.php
If I execute the command above, it runs just fine.
Thank you in advance.

I guess it would :)
btw, how did this piece miss from the contents pasted by the OP ?
The doc has given all details of CRON and missed where to see the logfiles. :)
****Added****
I tried man crontab in windows, i dont see it.i overlook most of the things, i would have done the same ;)

  • Cron jobs and crashes

    I have a script that I wrote to backup a server at midnight every night. It uses rsync to perform the backup. The past two nights it has run it seems to cause the server to crash. I used the Terminal to setup a cron job to run the script. Does this sound like a serious error or am I doing something completely wrong, or should it maybe be done at a different time? I looked through the logs and the kernel seems to panic and call crashdump or panicdump.
    The system in question is a Mac Mini if it makes any difference. If anyone would like I could post the script.
    Tom

    Here is the script file. I tried changing the time the script is run from midnight to 1AM and it ran the problem was that it ran about 60 times!!!!
    Is this a problem with the cron job because I see no problems with my script. I can successfully run it from the command line.

  • Cron Job in Root Directory

    I am running OS 10.4.6 on a Mac G4 450MHz machine. Recently when I opened Activity Monitor I noticed a cron job showed up in the root directory that hadn't been there before. I know I can select the cron job and then click on the Inspect icon but the dialogue boxes that show up do not tell me anything about the cron job except statistics having to do with CPU or memory usage. How do I find out what the cron job is and what it does? Is having a cron job in the root directory normal for 10.4.6? If it's not supposed to be there, how do I get rid of it?
    Thanks for your help.

    David,
    I think you are seeing the cron daemon. Not a "cron job". The cron daemon is started during the boot process. Cron then reads /etc/crontab. Crontab list "jobs" to be run and at what time. As of Tiger cron has been demoted and launchd handles running "jobs". Cron is still started at boot time but does nothing. It runs for backwards compatibility. There's nothing to get rid of- just leave it alone.

  • Help Please : Cron Job to automate load process

    Hi
    I am trying to automate data load process. I am loading data into a number of tables from flat files.
    Currently I have a UNIX (SunOS) file with a bunch of SQLLDR commands and I changed permission on this file to executable. Every morning I execute this file to load data.
    Now I want to automate this process by writing a cron job and scheduling it. I am running into a number of problems. I exported ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and PATH still cron is unable to find SQLLDR.
    Whatelse am I missing. Here is my command file and cron file.
    Please help!?!?!?
    ORAENV VARiables
    export ORACLE_HOME=/export/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6
    export ORACLE_SID=fid1
    export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

    /apps/fire/data/loadscripts/daily_full.sql: sqlldr: not found
    Thanks
    Shanthi

    Hi Ramayanapu,
    first; you have written a shell-script not an sql-script. Please rename your file from daily_full.sql to daily_full.sh
    I suggest that you use the cronjob from a user who has the enviroment with the variables ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME.
    In this case cron will operate from the $HOME variable of this user.
    Perhaps your export will destroy the .kshrc setting. The statement has no effect in your script, please remove it.
    Rename your sqlldr-Statement as follows;
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlldr userid=user/pwd control=<path>acct.ctl log=acct.log
    <path> will placed with the path of your controlfile.
    Your user/pwd will correspond with a ORACLE user who has the right to insert in the destination table.
    Your logfile will be place in the %HOME directory.
    Hope that i could help to solve your problems
    with kind regards

  • Help with newsletter PHP Mail script for mySQL / cron job

    I'm just trying to set up a PHP script to send emails as a cron job.
    It pretty much seems to work, but I can't get it to do two parts.
    The first part is to send the emails, and the second is to send a notification email to the site owner confirming that the emails have been sent.
    The script looks like:
    <?php
    include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
    $sql = mysql_query("SELECT UserID, Firstname, Email, Newsletter_Received FROM Users WHERE Firstname='test' LIMIT 20");
    $numRows = mysql_num_rows($sql);
    $mail_body = '';
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
      $id = $row["UserID"];
      $email = $row["Email"];
      $name = $row["Firstname"];
      $mail_body = 'Test - please ignore';
        $subject = "Safari Awards Newsletter";
        $headers  = "From:[email protected]\r\n";
        $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
        $to = "$email";
        $mail_result = mail($to, $subject, $mail_body, $headers);
      if ($mail_result) {
      mysql_query("UPDATE Users SET Newsletter_Received='1' WHERE Email='$email' LIMIT 20");
      } else {
    ?>
    <?php
    if ($numRows == 0) {
      $subj = "Newsletter Sent";
      $body = "The current newsletter has been sent to everyone.";
         $hdr  = "From:[email protected]\r\n";
         $hdr .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
         mail("[email protected]", $subj, $body, $hdr);
    ?>
    Basically with the line
    include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
    included, it sends the emails as per the SELECT query, but does not send the 'Newsletter Sent' email.
    But if I take out that line, it obviously doesn't send the emails as per the SELECT query, but it does send the 'Newsletter Sent' email.
    Any suggestions on what might need changing in order for it to do both would be much appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Change this line -
    if ($numRows == 0) {
    to this -
    if ($mail_result) {

  • Should I use the built in log rolling function on iWS 6 or roll my own using a cron job using stop and start scripts in the web server instance root?

     

    Hi,
    You can use either OS cron job based log rotation

  • How to take the cron job log in HP UX?

    Hi,
    How to take the cron job log in HP UX
    I need to run a backup and other stuff everyday. How do I check and start cron service under HP-UX UNIX operating system? How do I write cron jobs?
    A. Cron service is required to run jobs and tasks such as backup.
    You must login as the root to run following commands. Each user that is using the cron service must have a cron configuration file in the /var/spool/cron/crontab directory. Also users are permitted if their name appeared in /var/adm/cron/cron.allow file
    Task: Find out if cron is running under HP-UX
    Type the following command at a shell prompt
    # ps -ef | grep cron
    Open /etc/rc.config.d/cron file
    vi /etc/rc.config.d/cron
    Set control variable to 1 to enable cron: CRON=1
    Set control variable to 0 to disable: CRON=0
    Close and save the file. To start or stop cron you can type the following command:
    # /sbin/init.d/cron start <-- start cron
    # /sbin/init.d/cron stop <-- stop cron
    Task: HP-UX Start cron service
    If cron is not running, simply type:
    # cron
    Task: Edit / create cron jobs
    Type the following command to submit a cron job:
    # crontab -e
    List your cron file:
    # crontab -l
    Backup all your cron jobs:
    # crontab -l > ~/backup.cron.jobs
    Remove ALL cron job:
    # crontab -r
    Task: Crontab file format
    Cron file format is as follows:
    MIN HOUR DATE MONTH DAY /PATH/TO/COMMAND
    0-59 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 /root/scripts/backup2tape.shEasy to remember crontab file format:
    * * * * * command to be executed
    | | | | |
    | | | | ----- Day of week (0 - 7) (Sunday=0 or 7)
    | | | ------- Month (1 - 12)
    | | --------- Day of month (1 - 31)
    | ----------- Hour (0 - 23)
    ------------- Minute (0 - 59)To run /root/script/backup at 23:00, every day, enter:
    # crontab -e
    Append following
    0 23 * * * /root/script/backupRun foo job very weekday (MON-Fri) at 6am, enter:
    0 6 * * 1-5 /root/script/backupFor more information refer to cron and crontab man pages.

    You might note that all files normally found in /etc/init.d, /etc/rc*.d, and others are all in /sbin in HP-UX 10.20 and up.
    Note too that your formatting is off in the description of the /etc/rc.config.d/cron file. Also, if you run /usr/bin/cron instead of /sbin/init.d/cron start, the /etc/rc.config.d/cron file is not used.

  • CRON job on mac

    Hello,
    Not quite the right category for this but don't think the answer would be found in the non server forum.
    I would like to schedule a CRON job on 10.5 (not server), done it in older version, either I can't remember or it's changed... doesn OSX have crontab?
    Every 1 minute I want to call a php function on a webserver (which doesn't allow CRON)....
    m

    Hi
    On OSX Client its in /usr/lib. You should see an alias for cron and within that should be what you want. However you might be able to achieve what you want with launchd and its utility launchctl? Consult the manual pages for usage.
    There is a specific Terminal and Command Line Forum over on the 10.4 Server Forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=701
    You could check this forum out as it does focus on the command line and applescript amongst other things:

  • 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!).

    [PHP]
    ; About php.ini ;
    ; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
    ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
    ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
    ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
    ; The path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
    ; the -c argument in command line mode.
    ; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
    ; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
    ; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
    ; they might mean something in the future.
    ; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
    ; directive = value
    ; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
    ; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
    ; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
    ; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
    ; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
    ; | bitwise OR
    ; & bitwise AND
    ; ~ bitwise NOT
    ; ! boolean NOT
    ; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
    ; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
    ; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
    ; sign, or by using the None keyword:
    ; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
    ; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
    ; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none'
    ; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
    ; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
    ; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
    ; About this file ;
    ; This is the recommended, PHP 5-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
    ; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
    ; and encourage cleaner coding.
    ; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
    ; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
    ; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
    ; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,

    ; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
    ; file, included in your PHP distribution.
    ; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
    ; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while

    ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
    And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
    EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
    You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
    You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

  • Need help with a cron job

    What I want to do is run an Applescript every 6 hours and 1 minute. If the computer is asleep when the job comes due, I want it to execute the script and reset the counter. Can crontab do this? If so, how to set it up?

    Gnarlodious wrote:
    Then skip it, I can see there is no easy way.
    I don't think it's that hard, though. Just a bit tricky. I was just a bit confused on what exactly you wanted.
    I could write a stay-open Applescript application, but I wanted to avoid cluttering up the Dock just to run a command every 6 hours.
    Nah, I wouldn't want that either.
    If I were doing something like this and I wanted it to work like this:
    1. Run every six hours, at 6 AM, noon, 6 PM, and midnight.
    2. Run after waking up if the computer has been asleep and missed any of the times in between, say if you let the computer sleep thru the 6 AM job.
    I'd do this:
    1. Call the AppleScript periodically from a cron job. How often would be dependent on how tight you want the times to be to when you wake up.
    2. Have the AppleScript save a text file somewhere with the time when it runs. That way, if your computer is asleep at 6 AM, the script could use this to decide if it missed running while it was asleep.
    3. Have your script check this time and if it's over 6 hours, let the script do its thing. If not, then just exit, to try all this again the next time cron runs it.
    Here's kind of a pseudo-code way of describing it:
    check if it's 6:01, 12:01, 18:01, 00:01
    if yes:
    do your AppleScript business
    save the current time in a file
    exit
    if it's not one of those times:
    check if it's been over 6 hours since the AppleScript did its business
    if yes:
    do the AppleScript business
    save the current time in a file
    exit
    if no:
    exit
    Then you could do two cron jobs:
    1 */6 * * * /path/to/applescript
    */5 * * * * /path/to/applescript
    The first one would run at your appointed times. The second would just run every 5 minutes to catch those times when the computer was asleep. The "5" could also be "10" for every ten minutes. Or whatever you decide you'd like.
    I'd show you an AppleScript, but I'm really not so good at that. If a Perl script would help, I could whip one up pretty quickly, I think.

  • Is it possible to have a Cron job in CPO to check the running status of a workflow

    Is it possible to have a Cron job in CPO to check every hour to see if a particular workflow is running, if not trigger it by creating a alert, if yes- autokill

    Hi Warren,
    We don't want our process to expire and also not to execute twice at once. We have a provisioning wrapper workflow which is triggered one time by an alert and it runs endlessly by creating an alert at the end of each instance triggering another instance of the same unless CPO hangs or goes to stand by mode. Since we belong to service team, we don't have any kind of access to CPO DB or logs, so that possibility is ruled out. Just checking for alternatives. 

  • Cron job help- Need to run the Autobuddy command every night...

    I have not written anything in the form of a Unix script for YEARS and YEARS. Our XServe was built in Advanced mode, currently running 10.5.4 Server. On this box, we are running Wiki and iChat. Since we built this box as an Advanced box the "Autobuddy" option was not available.
    I have since enabled it at the command line, but I am told by Apple that there still needs to be a command run after every time a user logs in if you want others to Autobuddy. That command is this:
    "sudo /usr/bin/jabber_autobuddy -m"
    Now I think this would be pretty easy to setup as an automatic cron script, but like I said, I have not written something like this in forever. Not to mention, I am not 100% sure what needs to happen since running the script with an sudo command will prompt for the root password.
    I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me write the script up, and give me some instructions on how to install it. I just want it run everyday, midnight is fine, I don't really care. All I know is that we have a dept of 150 people, and it grows and shrinks all the time. They can deal with a new user not being seen for 24-48 hours, I just want to get this automated.
    Any helps would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks
    Tom

    If you want to keep it simple try [CronniX|http://www.abstracture.de/projects-en/cronnix] a graphical tool for setting up CRON jobs on OSX. Whilst I have not actually done an autobuuddy in this way, I cannot see any reason why it will not run as a Cron Job.
    The proper way ideally would be to use the launchd service.
    Something like this should work:

  • Schedule rman using cron job

    I have scheduled a cron job to take rman backup of database everyday at 4PM. But I see that the empty backup.log file is getting generated while the script is not running. If I run the backup.sh script manually then the backup is running fine. The following are the scripts and the crontab details,
    backup.sh script is as follows,
    cd /u01/app/oracle/rmanbkp
    rman target / <<EOF
    run
    allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/u01/app/oracle/rmanbkp/%d_%T_%s.bak';
    backup database;
    delete noprompt obsolete;
    exit;
    EOF
    while the output of 'crontab -l' is
    00 16 * * * /home/imsoracle/backup.sh > backup.log
    Backup is not happening, what is wrong in my settings. Please advise.

    Dear $ami Malik,
    There is another option that you can use for RMAN scripting as shown below;
    0 2 * * 2 export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ ;
    /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/rman cmdfile /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/RMAN/backup_full.sh
    log /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/RMAN/backup_full.log
    vals2:/home/oracle#cat /db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/RMAN/backup_full.sh
    connect target sys/password@optprod
    backup database format '/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/backupset/DB_FULL_%d_%t_%s_%p';
    backup archivelog all delete all input format '/db/optima/archive/OPTPROD/backupset/ARC_%d_%t_%s';
    exit;So you can construct such backup strategy with the cmdfile and log options of the recovery manager.
    Hope That Helps.
