Hello experts,

I have the following script,which I have scheduled in cron tab.

**************************
Cron tab : 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /informatica/pc/cpu_stats.sh >> /informatica/pc/logfile

This script is not able to write the out put in log file. But if I am running independantly (sh.cpu_stats.sh) it's creating the log file and also writing the out put .

Can you please help me in getting the out put appended in the log file, when the script is scheduled and run through cron tab.

Thanks
Himansu.

Hello,

Since you're already specifying the name of your logfile in the script, try adding the location as well. /informatica/pc/logfile. Then, in your crontab, replace the ">> /informatica/pc/logfile" with "2&>1"

It should look like the following:

: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /informatica/pc/cpu_stats.sh 2&>1


Hopefully that does it for you. I've tested it on my end and all worked.

PS - Here's what I placed in my crontab: 0 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 * * 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 /home/me/thisisatest 2>&1

Thanks for responding.As adviced, I did the necessary changes but it's not working for me. The logfile is not getting created.

hmm.

When running the script manually, where is it placing the log file? And, what are the current permissions for the directory you want the log file to go to?
