One, try running it with the test flag ( -t ) at the end of the command line. Two, your collection ought to look something like 12345/1, not just 1, where 12345 is the handle (12345789 is the default you use if you haven't set up your handle service yet, I think). --Tom

We had a similar problem, only it was with Oracle. The first connection of the day, when we were still in set-up mode, would take two to three minutes to come up! Our solution was to set up a cron job to wget the home page every 10 minutes or so. Since then, no problem. --Tom

Wouldn't it be more efficient anyway to simply reference an external .js file? Structural.xsl already has an example chunk of code: !-- Add javascipt -- xsl:for-each select=/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metada...@element='javascript'] script

[Dspace-tech] Thumbnails created in shell/not created in cron job

2008-11-05 Thread Thomas A McGee
I've figured it out. You can't have the java call directly in the crontab. You need to write a shell script that brings in the proper environmental variables and sets the PATH, and then that script makes the java call. Mine looks like this: SHELL=/bin/bash export
