Hello Everyone,
I have some backup scripts I want fcron to run for me.
i have fcron working for commands, but I cannot execute scripts for some reason.
fcrontab -e
15 10 * * * touch /home/user/test
16 10 * * * echo "herro" > /home/user/test_2
17 10 * * * /home/user/test_script
18 10 * * * /opt/test_script
so the first 2 lines work and are fine, but the last 2 dont run.
both scripts have +x permission and work if i execute them manually.
Any Ideas why this may be happening?
Thanks,
Maze
If you still have to stick to fcron/cron, you may put run-standalone.sh in front of the command like this:
Code:
17 10 * * * run-standalone.sh /home/user/test_script > /dev/null 2>&1 18 10 * * * run-standalone.sh /opt/test_script > /dev/null 2>&1

the script im using is just for testing and it
#!/bin/bash
echo "herro" > /home/user/test_1
Im going to try alarmd to see if i can make it work there, though i would like it to work with fcron
#!/bin/bash
echo "herro" > /home/user/test_1
