Disconnect/Reconnect cronjob

Rate this Message:
Hello all!
Since my ISP is disconnecting my connection every 24 hours I would like to make sure that happens in the early morning hours rather than at noon. After a bit of searching I found the .sh script that works but I havent managed to get it to work properly. This is the .sh script: #!/bin/sh # Reconnect and update DynDNS /etc/rc.d/uplinks stop main sleep 90 /usr/local/bin/setddns.pl sleep 30 /usr/local/bin/setddns.pl I made a folder called /customscripts and moved the .sh file in there. Running it manually via "sh <scriptname.sh> works perfectly, getting it to run at a specific time is where I am stuck. I edited the /etc/crontab file and added at the end: 30 3 * * * root /customscripts/reconnect.sh This should run the script at 03:30 in the morning but unfortunately it doest work. Since this is my first cronjob ever I am almost certain I have missed something trivial but important :-) Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Why did you add the 'root' part in front of the script? AFAIK, that shouldn't be there. Just make sure you chmod 755 the script, and you don't even need to sh <script>, as you already have the #!/bin/sh line there, which tell whatever shell you're in that they should use sh to run your script.

Hello Rafael!
I added the root there since it was there from a howto I found on a german forum. I removed it and the script works, thank you! Seeing in the crontab file the daily, hourly, etc cron jobs, I noticed the lines "[ -x /bin/run-parts ] && run-parts --report" in front of the command. I dont understand what they mean and should I add them to my own cronjob aswell? Thank you for your help! Vassilis Rafael Fonseca schrieb: > Why did you add the 'root' part in front of the script?

Not necessary in this case. They're for error reporting and tidying up
output from cron-jobs, but in your case I'd just ignore them. -- Rafael Fonseca www.nunca.com.br On 30/07/2009, at 11:19 PM, Vassilis wrote: > Hello Rafael! > > I added the root there since it was there from a howto I found on a > german forum.
