Cronjob

$

Hi guys,

 

I got my whole environment up and running, I can manually create backups with ghettoVCBg2.pl and it works perfectly.

Only thing I want to do now, is make it a cronjob.

I tested the cron feature with adding a simple task in /etc/crontab:

*/1 * * * * root wall test

 

this works fine, every minute I get the message "test" in my console.

 

I can also add this to /etc/crontab:

*/1 * * * * root /home/vi-admin/test.sh

 

I made the file test.sh, this is what's in the file:

wall test

 

again, I get the message "test" in my console.

 

 

Now the problem...

When I edit /etc/crontab with this:

*/1 * * * * root /home/vi-admin/ghettoVCBg2.pl --vmlist nag001 --dryrun 1

 

nothing executes, I als tried to put the command ./ghettoVCBg2.pl --vmlist nag001 --dryrun 1 in a file called test.sh... after that I edited /etc/crontab with:

*/1 * * * * root /home/vi-admin/test.sh

 

again, nothing executes.

 

When I look at "sudo nano /etc/crontab" I see:

crond[12611]: module:pam_lsass (root) CMD (/home/vi-admin/test/sh)

crond[12611]: module:pam_lsass pam_sm_acct_mgmt failed login:rooterror code:2

crond[12611]: module:pam_lsass pam_sm_close_session error error code:2

 

btw: I also tried to edit /etc/crontab with:

*/1 * * * * vi-admin /home/vi-admin/test.sh

and

*/1 * * * * vi-admin /home/vi-admin/ghettoVCBg2.sh --vmlist nag001 --dryrun 1

 

I'm out of knowledge here...

 

Tnx in advance

 

Jim
