Crontab not running script

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3701 / 3 Years ago, fri, july 9, 2021, 4:05:51

EDITED:

I got a script running with a cronjob every day at 1 am:

0 1 * * * /bin/bash /home/performanceRatio.sh

It also appears in the cron.log:

Feb  2 01:00:01 inf-education-67 CRON[108963]: (root) CMD (bash performanceRatio.sh)

Feb  2 01:00:01 inf-education-67 CRON[108962]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

Expected behavior is to update a mysql database. Changes appear if it's run manually.

Using Ubuntu 20.04

My script looks like:

#!/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin



python3 get_weather_data_crn.py && python3 pv.py

* * * * * env > /tmp/env.output shows:

HOME=/root

LOGNAME=root

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

SHELL=/bin/sh

PWD=/root

Well, maybe it was a combination of the edits I already made (also in my post). But the final solution to get it all working was this:

#!/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin



python3 /home/get_weather_data_crn.py && 

python3 /home/pv.py

Yes, not making a NEWLINE! after && prevented Crontab to run the python scripts.
