I'm trying to write a cron job that runs a report, and emails the result to an address defined in my user's ~/.bashrc file. I had this working perfectly on Fedora, but when I switched to Ubuntu, my solution no longer works. The command my cron job currently runs is: . /home/myuser/.bashrc; /home/myuser/bin/runreport If I run that comm...
I'm not a Ruby guy, I just play one on television. I have to modify someone's old Cron job to pull down some JSON and convert it into objects. Here's the code raw_json = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("url removed to protect the innocent")) tags = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(raw_json) puts tags.count tags.count will accurately trace as 5, ...
I have a client that I'm wanting to move to a virtual private server. I'm trying to keep his server as simple as possible, not even having an email server on there (or at least that is the plan).

I have a running cron job that will be going for a while and I'd like to view its stdout. I don't know how important the fact that the process was started by cron is, but I figure I'd mention it.

Essentially I plan on writing a shell script to run at midnight each night which will do all of my general server maintenance. Most of these tasks I already know how to automa...
Suppose you have a database of users, which is constantly moving, and getting big. You want to do something to each user, every 24 hours, without fail. It doesn't matter what that something is, maybe send them each an email, or maybe something more complex that takes an unpredictable length of time. For a small site, I can imagine a sim...
I'm working on a wamp development environment and testing how long it takes to get the site indexed. I'm doing this by running cron manually. The problem is that if there's 700 jobs in the job_queue, each run of cron does only some of them, so I need to run cron several times. How could I keep calling cron in a loop until there are no ...

Hi, This is more of an "general architecture" problem. If you have a cron job (or even a Windows scheduled task) running periodically, its somewhat simple to have it send you an email / text message that all is well, but how do I get informed when everything is NOT okay? Basically, if the job doesn't run at its scheduled time or Windows...
