Hi All.
Facing a very weird issue, wherein the command
*/etc/init.d/cassandra start*
causes cassandra to start when the command is run from command-line.
However, if I put the above as a cron job
** * * * * /etc/init.d/cassandra start*
cassandra never starts.
I have checked, and "cron" service is running.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
I am pasting the cassandra script for brevity.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
