I'm having one of those days. I have created some Grunt scripts to do some build work. I have created the first script to do a JSHint check on JS files in the repo, and then send an email with the errors. Works great - I'm using grunt with jshint, and that module has an escape to call a custom formatter for the JSHint errors, also written in javascript. I'm using Amazon SES to send the emails.
All works fine in practice, but it will not run in CRON. I can see the cron jobs starting in the CRON jobs. No errors. I can run the commands from the command line, no errors - works beautifully. I can run other cron jobs that dump data out to /tmp, no problem. But no output comes out of the Grunt job. So I took the formatter out, and ran it as a plain node.js job. Works fine. But again, it does nothing as a CRON job. I have stripped out everything, except for the part where it sends an email, and I'm just sending hard coded text with a hard coded email address. Will run again from the command line, so permissions are fine, but when I try to run as CRON, nothing happens. Any suggestions. I have been up and down the permissions check. I have change the files and the directory where they work over to allow anything. Still nothing. I created the crontab entry with crontab -e, so it is running in the same user, (ubuntu,) that owns the directories and files. Running on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm stumped. Any ideas? I have set it up to run every minute. Here's the crontab line: */1 * * * * sh /var/test/trunk/build/batch_jshint.sh The cron logs: Jul 18 21:57:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2561]: (ubuntu) CMD (sh /var/test/trunk/build/batch_jshint.sh) Jul 18 21:57:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2562]: (ubuntu) CMD (sh /var/test/trunk/build/test.sh) Jul 18 21:57:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2563]: (ubuntu) CMD (/usr/bin/uptime > /tmp/uptime) Jul 18 21:57:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2560]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output) Jul 18 21:58:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2581]: (ubuntu) CMD (sh /var/test/trunk/build/batch_jshint.sh) Jul 18 21:58:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2582]: (ubuntu) CMD (sh /var/test/trunk/build/test.sh) Jul 18 21:58:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2583]: (ubuntu) CMD (/usr/bin/uptime > /tmp/uptime) Jul 18 21:58:01 ip-10-251-25-8 CRON[2580]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output) -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
