Hi,
I'm trying to get a python script to run from /etc/crontab, but it
won't work.
I've read about the most common issues being related to paths, but my
script uses no paths at all.
This is my /etc/crontab line:
*/5 * * * *
munin /usr/local/bin/python /root/myscript.py >> /var/log/myscript.log
I used munin user because i already have it (can i run it under
'nobody'?).
This is what /var/log/cron says:
Apr 24 18:00:01 triton /usr/sbin/cron[4361]: (munin) CMD
(/usr/local/bin/python /root/myscript.py
>> /var/log/myscript.log)
However the script doesn't seem to run at all.
Obviously it works if i run it stand-alone, as any user.
I'm running 7.1-RELEASE-p4, i386.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks.
