Issues Setting Up Cron in Onion Omega [Resolved]
-
Trying to figure out the reason(s) a script is not running properly.
Set a shell to call a *.py file every minute with the following:
Start
*/1 * * * * /root/job.sh
End
The job.sh runs a *.py file which checks an I2C temperature module and sends the results to Ubidots. It works fine manually. Tried restarting Cron and a few other variations such as adding sh to it.
The file has the following properties (also tried chmod a+x, u+x, 755, 666 and others):
-rwx------ 1 root root 62 Jul 21 15:07 job.sh
Checking logread indicates that cron it running:
Fri Jul 21 15:38:00 2017 cron.info crond[3464]: USER root pid 3491 cmd /root/job.sh
Fri Jul 21 15:39:00 2017 cron.info crond[3464]: USER root pid 3493 cmd /root/job.sh
Fri Jul 21 15:40:00 2017 cron.info crond[3464]: USER root pid 3495 cmd /root/job.sh
Fri Jul 21 15:41:00 2017 cron.info crond[3464]: USER root pid 3497 cmd /root/job.sh
Fri Jul 21 15:42:00 2017 cron.info crond[3464]: USER root pid 3499 cmd /root/job.sh
Fri Jul 21 15:43:00 2017 cron.info crond[3464]: USER root pid 3502 cmd /root/job.shCron works fine on another Omega2+, so confused as to why it's not working or in this case generating any output.
Message in Test.log file:
-ash: crontab.txt: not found
The crontab.txt is listed in /etc/crontabs as root (file).
Any ideas on what to try next? Just don't won't to have a script running in an infinite loop after startup.

Used
crontab -eto edit crontab and removed the^Mwhich were preventing it from running successfully. Think they were either inserting through a copy&past or through the console.Now, it's time to get some rest.
