Re: Script to email details not working in cron
Thanks for the quick response Patrick. I have given the full path for all the executables in the script. Still i'm not getting the email. The first line of the script works which updates the details-file. The third line of the script works which updates the status of the email operation. Both the details-file and mail-status are getting the updated at the time mentioned in the cron. i think this indicated that the script is being executed, but not sure why ssmtp command is not working. The script still works if i execute it manually.

Script to email details not working in cron
Hi, I have written a small script to email (using ssmpt) some details, and scheduled it in crontab. The script is running as per time mentioned in the cron but ssmtp is not sending the mail. please find the details below. user@host ~ $ cat bin/email-script /home/user/bin/actual-script > ~/details-file ssmtp usern...@gmail.com < ~/details-file echo $? > ~/email-status The crontab entry is as below 0 9 * * * /home/user/email-script When i execute the script manually i'm getting the email from ssmtp. but when the script is executed using cron i'm not getting the email. I checked the status of the ssmtp and the status is 127. Please can anyone suggest what might be wrong in my setup. Regards, Mani

USB wireless network adaptor
Hi, I'm having a HP laptop running wheezy. The built-in wireless adaptor wasn't working fine. So bought a Asus usb-n10 wireless adaptor. installed the drivers and it works fine. But once i shutdown or restart my laptop, its not working. The lsusb command shows the wireless adaptor, but the adaptor is not working (not getting detected in network manager in gnome). only way to make it work is to restart. Has anyone faced a similar situation and is there any fix for this issue. Thanks in advance. Regards, Mani
