Hi Abel,
You should have to do what you did with your crontab.
I run Gentoo as my main development platform, so I'm positive vixie-cron works.
Try this:
JFFNMS=/opt/jffnms/engine
*/1 * * * * apache cd $JFFNMS && php -q consolidate.php >/dev/null 2>&1
*/30 * * * * apache cd $JFFNMS && php -q rrd_analizer.php >/dev/null 2>&1
*/30 * * * * apache cd $JFFNMS && php -q autodiscovery_interfaces.php > /dev/null 2>&1
02 4 * * * apache cd $JFFNMS && php -q tftp_get_host_config.php >/dev/null 2>&1
02 5 * * * apache cd $JFFNMS && php -q cleanup_raw_tables.php >/dev/null 2>&1
20 5 * * * apache cd $JFFNMS && sh tmpwatch.sh $JFFNMS >/dev/null 2>&1
And check the /var/log/cron.log

This my first post to the group. Being that I started reading up and working on JFFNMS about a week ago so a good old hello folks might be needed here. I read all the previous posts in regards to my problem and it seems my problem is a combination of a few issues.
Here is background information:

I'm runing vixie-cron (For those of you who use Gentoo)
I had the statements below in crontab and noticed that my jobs were not running at all. Being that I don't have a mail mta running I was unable to receive the email from cron telling me exactly what was screwed up. But I noticed that no files would be created in $JFFNMS/rrd folder when I run the poller.php manually after su to apache. I see that the rrd files get created. This verified that the command itself was working properly and thus cron should have no problems with it. So after much troubleshooting I decided to write a bash script to run in cron that would basically run the commands above within bash (instead of 'sh' the default shell for cron). Here is the script and cron entry:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> apache # cat /opt/jffnms/engine/bash.poller
#!/bin/bash
su - apache
oPoller=/home/apache/bash.cron.poller
oPollerHelper=/home/apache/bash.cron.poller.helper
oConsolidate=/home/apache/bash.cron.consolidate
echo "Running again" `date`
cd /opt/jffnms/engine
/usr/bin/php -q consolidate.php >$oConsolidate 2>&1 &
/usr/bin/php -q poller.php >$oPoller 2>&1 &
/usr/bin/php -q poller_helper.php >$oPollerHelper 2>&1 &
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> apache # crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.25383 installed on Tue Dec 28 14:21:16 2004)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
#Min Hour Day Month WkDay User COMMAND TO RUN
* * * * * /opt/jffnms/engine/bash.poller >/dev/null 2>&1
At this point I have files that are being update every minute my graphs are being updated and all seems to be ok. Now what I'm trying to figure out is why I had to do this when it doesn't seem anyone else on the posts had to do this to get things to run correctly. Will this mean that I will need to script the actual commands like my example above for all the cron entries or is there something simple that I have overlooked?
PS: I had the JFFNMS=/opt/jffnms/engine entry and changed it to /opt/jffnms/engine/ notice the extra slash at the end and this didn't make a difference. Anyone out there that may have had to deal with this.....?
Thank you in advance to the team..
Abel
