-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've got a very simple perl script that I'm trying to run as a cronjob.
#!/usr/bin/perl use LWP::Simple qw(mirror $ua); $| = 1; $ua->timeout(60); my $url = 'http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/phish.ndb.gz'; my $file = 'phish.ndb.gz'; my $dbfile = 'phish.ndb'; my $result = mirror($url, $file); print "$file\t$result\n"; if ($result == 200) { system "gunzip -v --stdout $file > $dbfile"; } exit 0; Its use is to check for new updates to the phish.ndb file used by clamav. It runs fine from the cli so I know there is no issue with the script, however, when attempting to run as a cronjob I get: phish.ndb.gz 500 which I'm told by the author is a A 500 status code is an internal server error. Nothing to do with the script. He also goes on to say: "99% of all problems under Unix are permissions" Aside from it being under cron, what else is different. UserID, evnironment, shell, PWD, etc ? All my other cronjobs run correctly. Below is my crontab and permission settings for /usr/local/bin/Phish.pl SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] HOME=/ # run-parts 1 * * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 2 * * * * clamav /usr/local/bin/freshclamcron 0 * * * * root /usr/local/etc/logcheck.sh 33 21 * * * chris /usr/local/bin/Phish.pl # 2 4 * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily # 22 4 * * 7 root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly # 42 4 1 * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.monthly Permissions are set as below: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ls -lr Phish.pl - -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 331 Apr 26 18:56 Phish.pl* Whether running this job as root or chris nets the same output.
