wgstarks Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I set up a custom script as described here. It works fine when I run it from the command line, but when I run it as a cron job I get this in the log- Jan 11 20:00:01 Brunnhilde crond[1609]: exit status 127 from user root ./config/plugins/DS_Store-Cleanup/rmdotstore.sh /mnt/user/Media && /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/notify -e "DS_Cleanup" -d "Removing .DS_Store files" -i "normal" -m "Cleaning DS_Store files from Media" Jan 11 20:00:01 Brunnhilde sSMTP[20054]: Creating SSL connection to host Jan 11 20:00:02 Brunnhilde sSMTP[20054]: SSL connection using AES128-GCM-SHA256 Jan 11 20:00:03 Brunnhilde sSMTP[20054]: 550 5.7.0 From address is not one of your addresses. The .DS_Store files are not being deleted and I don't get a notification. Not sure why it's failing. I've attached the complete log. brunnhilde-syslog-20160111-2008.zip Link to comment
Squid Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not sure if it'll make a difference but try changing it from ./config to /boot/config Link to comment
wgstarks Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks squid. I'll give that a shot. Link to comment
wgstarks Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Didn't work. DS Store files are still not being deleted and I'm still getting errors in the log that the "From" is not one of my email addresses. Link to comment
Squid Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The big question is does the script work. If it does (and I seem to recall that it does) then its something with the cron Link to comment
wgstarks Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 It worked when I ran it via telnet. Deleted test files I had saved to the share and sent the proper notifications. The log shows the script is running on time. The only difference I can see is that when I run the script via telnet I have to cd /boot first. Not sure if that changes anything. Edit- I see a typo (DUH). I changed the script per your suggestion but typed in boot/config instead of /boot/config. Fixed now and I'll see what happens. Link to comment
wgstarks Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thanks again Squid. Fixed the typo and everything is working. DS Store file was deleted and notifications worked. Still have the error in the log that the "From" address is not one of my addresses. Not sure what's causing that but notifications still work. Link to comment
Squid Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just for something to do, add an exit 0 to the end of your script. I *believe* (fully prepared to be wrong) that crontab tries to email root in the event of an abnormal exit. (and maybe the last iteration of your find command is actually returning a non zero return code) Link to comment
wgstarks Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Like this? # DS_Store Cleanup for Media: 40 3 * * 3 /boot/config/plugins/DS_Store-Cleanup/rmdotstore.sh /mnt/user/Media && /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/notify -e "DS_Cleanup" -d "Removing .DS_Store files" -i "normal" -m "Cleaning DS_Store files from Media" && exit 0 Link to comment
wgstarks Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think you're talking about the sh script- #!/bin/bash # ========================================================================== # # Program Body # # ========================================================================== # ((!$#)) && echo No Directory supplied! && exit 1 dir="$@" echo $dir echo "Removing .DS_Store files" find "$dir" -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm '{}' \; -print echo "=======================" echo "Removing ._ files" find "$dir" -name "._*" -exec rm '{}' \; -print Should I add the exit after the find at the bottom?

wgstarks Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Tried with both scripts and every combination I could think of. None made any difference. Seems to be working though, so it's really a minor issue. Link to comment
