How to check why some of the Cron jobs didn't ran at the scheduled time?

This is my first question ever on the forum. Hope I'm following the format of posting the thread.
I could find a similar query on the forum but couldn't find the exact answer.
Versions:
Oracle: 11.2.02.0
Linux: Linux xxxxx 2.6.32.12-0.7-default #! SMP 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LINUX
In our crontab there are lot of scripts that ran at the scheduled time. Around 3 reports didn't ran at the scheduled time today?
There is no error or some error mail saying that those reports got failed. They just didn't ran at that time.
How to find out why those jobs didn't ran?
Is there anything like cron log or something like that to trace it?
Please guide me. Thanks in advance.

When posting there, you can save yourself a bit of time by going ahead and showing the line from crontab for a report that "didn't run", and perchance the script itself. Best enclosed in the / tags to preserve formatting.

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.

Satya

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 ;)

How to check which is th best method to use in LSMw and the file

Hi all,
I am new to LSMW,
Can know me when i get the file , how to check the which is the Best method ( Batch input, Direct input,BAPI, IDOC) have to use in LSMW .
How to check the input file is completely filled and how to check whether it is correct and also how to Prevalidation check has to be done fior the file before uploading.
Can you provide any documents LSMW also Apprecited.
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
To check Correctness & completeness of the file:
1. The input file structure should be same as source structure what you defined whicle creating LSMW.
2. Check the following steps to assure the field mapping is done correctly.
a) Maintain field mapping & conversion rule
b) Check 'Display Read data'
c) Check ' Display Converted data''
Please note LSMW is a tool, which will simply upload the data whatever you are providing. So you need to be careful while making your file and validate it outside SAP ( before upload start)

How to check if a socket is still alive and not closed by the server?

If I create a socket connection in Java, then is there any way to test whether that socket conecction is alive at any point of time. You may assume that the socket connection is never closed from my side ie. the client's end, however it may be closed by the server at any time.

The only way to tell if the socket has been disconnected is to send data over it.
set the timeout on the server side socket and then have the client check in every so often within the timeout so if you set the client to check in every 10 seconds then set the timeout to say 30 seconds on the server socket.
if the server socket times out then you know the connection has been broken.

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:

How to find creation date of a cron job in RHEL 5

We have instances having RHEL 5.10 in our setup. I wanted to know how to find the creation date of a cron job in RHEL 5. I was investigating a cron job, hence the query to know the creation date of a cron job.
I hope my question is clear.
Requesting a reply to my query.
Regards

Sorry to have upset you, but I cannot understand your accusation. Could you please explain where you see aggression in my problem evaluation or where I implied "how dare you"?
I also provided an explanation why the cronfile in /var/spool/cron is not helpful. If I'm wrong, by all means, please let me and anyone else know.
If no filesystem is specified I assume the default file system, which under OL 6 is ext4 and xfs under OL 7. Furthermore I was assuming ext3 due to other questions the OP has been asking in a similar context, which you may have not seen. For example: How to find creation date of a file in RHEL 5

Why set child group 100% width didn't full fill the parent group?

hey,bro.
the black rect i set the explicit size the same as the parent group.
and the white border rect i set the width and height 100%,however,as the snapshot shows,the white rect's right and bottom line didn't reach the side.
can u tell me what's wrong with that? should i set some properties of that white rect.except set the explicit size directly.

gufw > gnome-python > libgnomeui > libbonoboui > libgnome > gvfs
etherape > libgnomeui > libbonoboui > libgnome > gvfs
On the front page of archlinux.org you can do a package search and get this as a result: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/gufw/
Then follow the dependencies. You can also see dependencies with pacman -Qi gufw.
For gvfs, it is a virtual filesystem. It doesn't use diskspace, only a tiny part of RAM, like sysfs/tmpfs/procfs.
Here is more info: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/stable/ch01.html
The two apps above use gnome libraries, which require gvfs for their filechooser so they can access all the mounted filesystems easier (easier for the app authors).

Information Broadcasting job didn't start at the precalculationserver

Problem: we start workbook-precalculation-jobs in broadcasting but you see only the bi-job in the sm66/sm50 and it never goes to the precalculation server.
At the moment is he only workaround to cancel the job and start the precalculationservice again.
Who had the same problem and know amentments

Have your Basis person check to make sure the RFC connection between BW and Precalc is functioning.
Sounds like you only have one precalc. Even though you do, you might want to specifiy that precalc server in your broadcast setting for the report, rather than accepting the system default. This has been a bug for some SP levels. Check for OSS Notes regarding precalc server and your particular BW version and SP level. The precalc functionality has had a variety of bugs over time, some that may only exist for a particular SP.

Compliance Calibrator: Background jobs didn't bring in the correct data.

Hi Gurus;
In Compliance Calibrator; background jobs were last run on 5/27/09 but the management report shows that the summary is as of 5/20/09. That should have been updated uptill 5/27/09 and the new number of conflicts should have come up, which it didn't. What can be the problem?
Thanking you;
Raja

Hi Harleen;
This job was actually set by the client. So when I went to check the parameters of the jobs, I found that the field MGR_ANALYSIS consists of Field value "N". Does this mean that the Management Analysis box was not ticked when this job was scheduled?

Why some albums are not available in other stores than the U.S one?

When i found a song on the web page i click on "view in Itunes" (...) but then appears a message saying "this song is not available to your coutry store".
Why is that?

Apple can only sell music (and any other content type, films, apps etc) where the rights-holders grant them licenses to sell it. You can try requesting that an album be added to your country's store, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple can't sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are the albums available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

How can I delete an apple ID , when I didn't even verified the account ?

Hi ,
Can you please help on solving a problem . Long time ago I was trying to register an iPad with my email. A verification email was sent to that email,but I didnt verify it. Now I want to registe rwith that mail , but a message appears "this email is already in use" or sth like that. Please advise how to delete that account ( if exists) or to make new registration with my email address?
thanks

HI,
Just because and Apple ID email is not verified does not mean the account is not created. (usable may be another matter)
Are you trying to Login here with the Manage option.
This will take you to the Apple ID page and tell you if there is an Verified Email as the Apple ID and whether there is a recovery email in use.
There is a menu on the left to sort any Recovery email and set Security Questions.
You are most likely to need to verify the Apple ID you were trying to create.
