leigh_munro Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 unRaid 6.0 - RC4 Has anyone else seen this? I have a small PHP script that i have running every 5 minutes as a cron job. Basically its reading data from a API on my solar inverter and pushing the data to an external website for monitoring. To debug something yesterday I added a couple of lines to ECHO the output from the script to the console... As soon as i did that i started seeing SMTP errors in my unRaid log as if its trying send an email but failing as i didn't have a SMTP server configured. I temporarily configured a SMTP server in the unRaid GUI to see what was happening and its sending the output from the script to [email protected] and CCing the email account i have listed for unRaid notifications. Why is it doing this? Quote Link to comment
leigh_munro Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 OK so i've worked out that this is the correct behaviour for cron as i haven't redirected the output to /dev/null... Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So not really a defect. Mods should probably move this thread to v6 General Support. You can get unRAID to make your cron entries for you. See here and look in /boot/config/plugins/dynamix for the cron files put there by unRAID from webGUI settings, and look at /etc/cron.d/root to see how this works. You can make your own just by putting similar cron files in a folder under /boot/config/plugins. I schedule my cache backup this way. Quote Link to comment
