Cron job status

Hi All
I had configured 1 cron job (in Unix and script is also in unix ) long back. But presently I dont know this job is running or not? Please suggest how to look this cron job is running or not?
Please help me out..
Thanks,
Siva

Hello Siva
ps -ef|grep cron
If it won't work - try to look for your cron
# crontab -l
or the other solution :
configure a mail for the scripts in the cron tab. hope this will solve your problem.
# Purpose : To email to India, Hyderabad Backup Adminl
if [ "$fbackup_status" = "0" ]
then
mail_file="/tmp/root/online.results"
echo "Backup Completed Successfully, Return Code: $fbackup_status" >> $mail_file
mt -f /dev/rmt/0m offline
else
     if [ "$fbackup_status" = "4" ]
     then
          mail_file="/tmp/root/online.results"
          echo "Backup Completed with Warnings, Return Code: $fbackup_status" >> $mail_file
          mt -t /dev/rmt/0m offline
     else
          mail_file="/tmp/root/online.results"
          echo "\n Backup [ FAIL ], Return Code: $fbackup_status" >> $mail_file
     fi
fi
for mail in [email protected]
do
mailx -s "aperp1 Backup Report" $mail < $mail_file
done
# remember to include this in your script

How to suppress "exit status 0" log mail for cron job

Hello,
we have a shell script to collect stats every day. it is croned.
Recently, in the moning, get email to say "Output from cron job xxxx, in server xxx, exit status 0",
As we know, the job is done well everyday without error(exit 0), but my question is how to let server to stop sending this useless alert email everyday.
any trick?
thank you.

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 error

I get this message in my local mail:
Subject: fcron <systab@morgana> /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.daily
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:02:47 +0200 (EET)
From: [email protected] (fcron)
Status: R
col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
it's an error in one of cron.daily scripts. the only cron jobs were installed by packages:
[root@morgana ~]# ls -l /etc/cron.daily/

I'm quite sure that man-db is having troubles. Also, I replaced default cron with fcron, same thing happens (I like fcron more anyway). Maybe it's locale related? I use en_US.UTF-8 in rc.conf and uk keymap. locale.gen only has the defaults, en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 & en_US ISO-8859-1.
I have no idea what's wrong. Any ideas please? Thanks

It appears one of your scripts is corrupt. Try running it through iconv to see if there is a bad byte sequence.
$ iconv < /etc/cron.daily/man-db > /dev/null

Starting stoping cron job

How we can tell which cron jobs are running and how to start/stop them, give me example/command plz

I do not know of any articles off the top of my head, but just remember if you can create a non-interactive script to do the job then you can run it as a cron job.
Here are several types of cron jobs that we currently use:
1. Kick off nightly hot and weekly cold backups.
2. Gather statistics weekly (on just some databases)
3. Gather performance statistics (perfstat) when wanted.
4. Perform audit gathering/deletion jobs.
5. Check for errors in alert logs and trace files and send out emails if needed.
6. Check status of listeners and database processes to assure they are still running.
7. Move log files to archiving storage
We are going to eventually move a lot of these jobs to OEM Grid Control but until then cron is great.

Tim

Check The Job Status

Hi SAPsimhas,
My requirement is as below.
I will loop through an internal table and create some files with background processing method.(JOB_OPEN,SUBMIT & JOB_CLOSE)
Now once this job is triggered I need to check the status for that job after maximum 10 mins. Its not neccessary that each job will take 10 mins. only,It can be finished in 2 mins also.
Once the job is finished then I will XCOM that file.
So my question is how to code such timer which will check the job status for that job? I have a FM BP_JOB_READ which returns the job status.
Reply is highly appriciated.

Try this way
do.
    call function 'SHOW_JOBSTATE'
      exporting
        jobcount         = p_jobc
        jobname          = p_jobn
      importing
        aborted          = v_aborted
        finished         = v_finished
        ready            = v_ready
        running          = v_running
        scheduled        = v_scheduled
      exceptions
        jobcount_missing = 1
        jobname_missing = 2
        job_notex        = 3
        others           = 4.
    if v_aborted eq 'X'.
      exit.
    endif.
    if v_finished eq 'X'.
      select single * from tbtcp into wa_tbtcp1
                 where jobname eq p_jobn
                   and jobcount eq p_jobc.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        move wa_tbtcp1-listident to p_spono.
      endif.
      exit.
    endif.
    if v_count le 10.
      call function 'ENQUE_SLEEP'
        exporting
          seconds = 60.
      v_count = v_count + 1.
    endif.
enddo.

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!).

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.

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 ;)

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.

Unable to get job status via BIP web service

Hi,
I'm scheduling a report job using the method scheduleReport of the ScheduleService web service. The method returns the jobId correctly, then I check the job status using getScheduledReportStatus.
Every time the method returns jobstatus = "Scheduled", but the report is finished. I noticed that BIP schedule a child job with different jobId (why?) and If I use it, the getScheduledReportStatus return a null status.
Using the method getScheduledJobInfo I have all the information, but how can I get the child jodId ?
Best regards,
Alessio

Hi Alessio
I know this was a long time ago but i was just taking a chance:
Quick question: did you get this to work? I can schedule a report using the ScheduleReport sevice, but when i query the status using getScheduledReportStatus, the status remains 'Scheduled', even after the job has run. The job also does not appear in the Job History of the report. The report is set to burst, which it does correctly.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks very much.

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:

5 error while checking job status

Hi,
We are getting the following error when we are trying to check the status of the process chain through FM 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS':
5 error while checking job status.
The real scenario is we are using an abap screen with a button on it. when the user clicks on the button we call the FM 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' to trigger the process chain. once the chain is triggered we are having an endless loop to monitor the status of the chain with FM 'RSPC_API_CHAIN_GET_STATUS' untill the chain status turns green ie G.
Now while monitoring the status it randomly throws me the above error. it seems to work sometimes and other times it gives the popup with the said error.
Can anybody help why we get the error.
Regards,
Shashank

Hi Shanshank,
Try to Debug the FM.

The image itself has the answer
The user requests a page, and the action gets picked up by the Web Analytics service that runs on SharePoint.
The Web Analytics service logs this in the “.usage” files.
A Timer job called “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import” by default runs every 30 minutes. It imports the logs into the staging database.
Each night the “Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing” Timer job runs and transforms the data into the reporting database.
The last run time of the import from staging and the aggregation is logged in the Settings table in the Reporting database.
Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm.
This information is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection Service Application or your
Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped, you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report

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.
