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

G5 iMac will not run programs

Hello again Guys, I'm back...... Just a quick note, Thanks to all who have offered me advice over my past issues. I have a new one for you. I recently picked up a G5 20 inch iMac 1.8 PPC 1.5 ram (gonna go pick up another gig today. Nothing out of the ordinary. I actually really like this thing. Anyways, when I picked it up, it was supposed to have 10.5.8 on it and it only has 10.4.11 No real biggie just need to get a hold of a 10.5 disc. Anyways, here is the issue. Programs will not open. If it is a preinstalled program, it runs fine. If it is a program that I have downloaded, it will not run. Case in point, I use FILEZILLA ALOT. I downloaded the PPC version, go to open it, and the icon pops up in the dock, then closes with nothing else. No crash report, no bug no nothing. Pops up in the dock then disappears. Does this with any program that I download. I already repaired permissions to no avail..... any ideas?
Thanks far in advance

You can first try running Disk Utility and using Repair Disk Permissions (on the First Aid tab).
Since that iMac came with the system already installed and an existing user account, I would create a new admin user account (in System Preferences Accounts pane). Make sure it is administrator, not standard. Log out and log in to the new account. Try the same thing in that account to see if the problem recurs.
When you get your Leopard installation disc, I would erase the internal drive and install a clean system. Whether the above helps or not (with the current system), a brand new system should resolve the problem.

Backups in cron not running

I'm trying to run rsnapshot through cron to automate my backups but it's not actually running rsnapshot for some reason . Here's my crontab:
brian@brian-laptop:/var/log$ sudo crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY!! USE crontab -e INSTEAD.
# <minute> <hour> <day> <month> <dow> <command>

00 * * * * pacman -Sy
00 00 * * * rsnapshot sync && rsnapshot daily
30 23 * * 0 rsnapshot weekly

I'm not sure why it's not working, I can run rsnapshot from the command line and it creates a backup in the appropriate place .

Well it didn't output it to a file .
EDIT: Same thing happened again, however, this time it created a file but it's blank.

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!).

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

I was going to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mavericks 10.9.2, but the installer program notified me stating my appleworks 6 app will not run on the new set up. is there a procedure to keep or switch my documents in order to obtain the mavericks upgrade?

I can't say personally since I never used AW, but see if these articles help:

I suggest that you clone your current drive with 10.6.8 to an external drive. If you have any issues after upgrading to Mavericks, you can boot back into 10.6.8.
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. If you need help creating your clone, let us know.

Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.

Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.
I'm testing 32bit software that will run in 7-64 Pro but will not in win 7 home premium or vista.
The 7-64 Pro machine is NOT running the program in XP mode although is is being run as admin. The 7 home premium and vista beta testers have tried every work around/mode, admin mode, and anti-virus exception. I've run process explorer & WinMerge to evaluate
the differences between os operations & dlls loaded but am unable to find the OS issue.
Currently 2-win7-64 machines, 1 vista machine and 1 win 7 machine had no issues with the program as it started up and ran immediately.
After 3 beta's 30 hours of testing & 50 of my own, I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the win 7 home premium and vista os's.
Can anyone here suggest other ways to further narrow it down so as to provide functionality on all 3 os's?

You must provide the exact name and version of the software for anyone to attempt to answer your question. Primarily the functionality of any software is entirely dependent on what platforms the publisher intended the software to run on.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows proc

My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''
You might already have seen these troubleshooting articles. If not, does anything here help:

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?

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 secondsso, code is not running......its dfinitely a classpath problem , because error message says "Could not find TestClient. Make sure you have it in your classpat".
TestClient is the name of main class file.
not sure whats wrong with this build.xml ? whats wrong in it ?
one thing , i guess, i did not mention "." , current directory in the build.xml ......is it because of that ?
i browsed apache manual......To Run a Java program.....first, they are making a JAR file ...and then they are executing the JAR.
i really, dont need the JAR file......i just want to run it.....thats enough.
somewhere, i have to do some modification in this buld.xml.......do you have any idea ?
thank you

TestClient folder has
1)src
2)classes
3)build.xml
i have posted the build.xml already.
now, src folder has TestClient.java
TestClient.java
==================
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
public class TestClient {
   public static void main(String [] args) {
     try {
       String endpoint =
           "http://ws.apache.org:5049/axis/services/echo";
       Service service = new Service();
       Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();
       call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
       call.setOperationName(new QName("http://soapinterop.org/","echoString"));
       String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "Hello!" } );
       System.out.println("Sent 'Hello!', got '" + ret + "'");
     } catch (Exception e) {
       System.err.println(e.toString());
}and i did
ant runand i got those errors.
clearly, its not able to run it.
looked the manual....did not find anything special about java task....still not working.

LabVIEW Program not running if i lock my PC (using an EXE made from LabVIEW)

Hi everyone
I observed some odd behavior when I was running my program on a PC. I prepared an EXE for a LabVIEW program, this am running on another PC. Purpose of the program is to read a text file and follow the command given in that text document, we are accessing parallel port, calling third party EXEs in this. It is not running when I minimize the window or lock the PC. Do we have any property in VI properties for this?
Please help me in this.
Thanks
Anil

Hi Anil,
Minimizing the application or locking Windows should not stop the executable from running. Can you reproduce this behavior on the development PC? Also try to create an executable with a simple VI that counts the number of iteration and check for this behavior ?

I was running Foxfire 3.6.9 and wanted to use FTP Program add-on and it did not appear to load but appeared but then would be installed but not run or appear under tools. So I deleted Foxfire 3.6.9 and down loaded to 3.5.9 so it could get FTP and it is doing the same could not install. Even after I registered my copy. The last time I used this program it showed up under tools and worked great. any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get around this?.by ralphd3g

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

Landed Cost manager Program is scheduled to run everyday but it did not run

Hi All,
Landed Cost manager Program is scheduled to run everyday but it did not run for 2 days and there was no error; it did not start even though it is a scheduled prog to run every 30 mins.
Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar cases before; also let me know if you have any clue for above? I am also researching on if there is any way to send notifications when a scheduled prog did not run even.
Any suggestions are welcome and also would like to get your thoughts on notification part if this is possible to track.
Thanks

Assuming no error can be found in the DB/CM log files, have you verified the scheduled settings for this program? Try to schedule it again and see if this helps.

Programs not running in leopard

my adobe creative suite and office:mac v.X are not running after installation of leopard, which i bought to use with my 16gb iphone. suggestions?

Java Preferences can be found using Spotlight.
Update your Java 6 as previously instructed as it's supplies security fixes.
Java 7 and above is for 10.7 and above, Oracle is dropping support for Java 6.
However all versions of Java have been HIGHLY insecure, so it's advised not to use them at all
If your using Java based programs (like the free LibreOffice) then certainly disable Java in all web browsers and applets in Java Preferences.
Apple has a now annual OS X upgrade cycle that is causing havoc and disqualifying older, but perfectly working machines from running necessary software and dragging third party developers along.
So one shouldn't be running Safari (outdated and no Safari 6), Java 6, very possibly Chrome on OS x 10.6.8, but if you upgrade to 10.7 or above, your machine will perform slower and all your PPC based software will no longer continue to function.
It's sad, because OS X Snow Leopard has 1/4 OS X market share still and many can't upgrade because developers are not issuing 10.7/10.8 versions of their software because of AppStore and Gatekeeper signaling the closing of the operating system in the future.
The 10 year support cycle of Windows versions sounds like blessed relief compared to Apple's annual OS X upgrade nightmare.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
