I have a 5.4-R system with an Adaptec 2200S. I also have Linux
emulation running and the aac_linux kernel module installed and I can
run the aaccli program successfully in a terminal window and use it
to check status of the RAID controller. However, if I do it from a
cron job (same script as I run in a terminal) I get no output.
aaccli uses terminal control commands and I suspect it is detecting
that it is not connected to a terminal and hence not running.
However, I so-far have not been able to get the Cron output to check
for errors due to the fact that the mail server rejects it for not
having a valid From/Sender and cron does not seem to set a From on
its mail or something.
Cron should always set From, To, and Subject:
fprintf(mail, "From: %s (Cron Daemon)\n", usernm);
fprintf(mail, "To: %s\n", mailto);
fprintf(mail, "Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> %s\n",
usernm, first_word(hostname, "."),
e->cmd);
maybe ssmtp is doing something with it then since mail I send from
inside my script (the script calls sendmail to email me -- not the
cron output) works but the cron generated mail fails on the mail
server with an unable to find a valid sender in any header (checks
done on Sender, From:, Reply-To)
Any ideas on how to get this aaccli program to run in a cron job?
Adaptec really took a step backwards when they went to this aaccli
from the earlier raidutils used with asr devices. The output is
cryptic and a pita to work with.
It seems to work for me on a PowerEdge 2550 and a PERC 3/Di card.
Putting something like this in cron:
/usr/local/bin/aaccli open /readonly aac0 : enclosure show status :
disk show smart : container list /full : diagnostic show text
That works better than what I was doing. I have a "script" I feed to
aaccli, which work in a terminal but not in cron. Thanks! The
script idea (./aaccli < script) was recommended to me from an Adaptec
person...
Thanks
Chad
gives me a whole lot of info back in the email.
