Re: changer problems when running from cron

Hi,

Let me ask again ...

What does your version of the request() function look like (the actual
code, not a general description)?

Here's the code, but I found that this function will never invoked, chg-manual ends before invoking the request() function:

The first function is info(), I added here a sleep(2) and then this part works.

The next function is loadslot(), the script exits in this function around line 312:
if [ ! -z "$used" -a $load = $slot ];then
# already loaded
answer="$slot $tape"
echo "Exit -> $answer" >> $logfile
echo "$answer"
exit 0
fi



#!/bin/sh

export home=/
#export DD="/bin/dd bs=32k"
export ONLINEREGEX="61000|ONLINE|READY|sense[_ ]key[(]0x0[)]|sense key error = 0|^er=0$"

request() {
echo -n "Request start:" >> $logfile
echo `date` >> $logfile
timeout=0

while true; do

label=`grep -v no-reuse /usr/local/etc/amanda/gamed/tapelist | tail -1 | \
while read line
do
set $line
echo $2
done`

if [ $timeout -le 0 ]; then
echo "Bitte Band $label einlegen" \
| mail -s "$ORG AMANDA TAPE MOUNT REQUEST FOR SLOT $1" \
$REPORTTO 2>/dev/null
timeout=`expr 360 \* 60`
fi

echo " -> rewind $tape" >> $logfile
$MT $MTF $tape rewind >> $logfile 2>&1
sleep 5
echo " -> status $tape" >> $logfile
used=`$MT $MTF $tape status 2>&1 | tee -a $logfile | $EGREP "$ONLINEREGEX"`
echo " -> loaded <$used>" >> $logfile

echo "SEPP3" >>/tmp/changer.debug
if [ ! -z "$used" ];then
break
fi

sleep 60
timeout=`expr $timeout - 60`
done

}

What is in /tmp/amanda/changer.debug?

MT -> /usr/local/sbin/ammt -f
DD -> /usr/local/sbin/amdd
Args -> -info
     -> rewind /dev/nst0
     -> status /dev/nst0
/dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT
     -> loaded </dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT>
Exit -> 42 99 1
MT -> /usr/local/sbin/ammt -f
DD -> /usr/local/sbin/amdd
Args -> -slot current
     -> rewind /dev/nst0
     -> status /dev/nst0
/dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT
     -> loaded </dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT>
Exit -> 42 /dev/nst0

While this is the most important thing :-), it would be good if we
could figure out why the script is failing.  And Christoph brings up a
very good point about the cron PATH possibly being different than your
interactive PATH.

this was also my first guess, but all the environment vars are correct set.


bye,
