Hello everyone, I need to have a python script running every minute to send a heartbeat broadcast. I have developed this sript and it works just fine when I start it from the shell. Next step was to actually add it to the cron list. So I have been looking on the net and I saw that should be possible by using crontab -e. So that's what I've done, resulting in the following :
30 * * * * /usr/bin/ntpdate-sync silent 1 * * * * python /home/root/keep_alive.py >>cronjob.log at some point I even added : SHELL=/bin/sh and also : @reboot python /home/root/keep_alive.py >> cronjob.log and because I saw it on the net as well I even tried specifying the user : @reboot root /home/root/keep_alive.py >> cronjob.log Unfortunately none seem to work at all, as in there are no broadcasts nor any entry to the log file ! I was wondering if anyone can help me out here. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
